thanx for the link.

I guess you can say NZ is lucky in a very unlucky circumstance- earthquakes with such high magnetite have killed thousand elsewhere in the world. Still the damage has been done and lives disrupted.

I will assume AJ and HY are all good and safe as they are on the north island. You never though, they could have taken off on a romantic weekend to Christchurch wink My cousin is in Christchurch and thankfully just out of the damaged area.

When I first came across the news on the MSN homepage my initial feeling was...'that can't right'.
A lot of people had a very lucky escape...scary stuff..
Napier was flattened in the 1931 earthquake, Wellingtons only exit out is on a fault linedoh
My thoughts go out to you all in Christchurch sad flower teddybear I hope the weather forecaste isnt going to be anywhere near as extreme as we have been told.comfort
