You poor things - what Giovanni said - thinking of you too. My son wants to donate all $100 of the prize money he won a couple of weeks ago to the earthquake appeal.
Having been through the Inangahua earthquake as a very small child, I have never been in the least bit staunch about earthquakes. I find them terrifying. -
Okay, now the Hawke's Bay is looking to muscle in on Christchurch's earthquake action. Just before 11am:
Hawkes Bay quake: Mag 5.2 15km deep, 20 km South East of Porangahau

3410,
I just hope that those in charge of the cleanup are getting some seriously professional advice on how best to deal with this.
I shudder to think just when the last of a hundred thousand damaged buildings will be repaired.

But developer Dave Henderson forecast a massive financial boost.
Wait, I've heard that name somewhere before haven't I? Hmm...

Well, we know they (Bob 'this is not my life' and John) are mates. Last seen down Queenstown way together.

Cracking over the plastered...
Most of the bars in Chch Henderson's "developed" - but not strengthened I guess - Sol Square are seriously compromised and don't look like reopening any time soon...Plastering over the cracks...
Look for Henderson to follow the money:"Anyone in the brick - or block-laying business, all their problems are over, along with anyone in construction or civil services."
Hendo's Hod here we come...

There's a certain level where we stop everything and sit up, another higher where we hold hands,......
Jeez. Why did I think the next part of the sentence was going to be ...Mills and Boonish and...exciting...

Heres a nice movie of the quakes from Sciblogs. Look for "Mapping Quakes in Canterbury".
I dumped it in the other post as well.

As in the monumentally unsuccessful film about his exploits We're Here To Help ? Maybe there is a sequel I'm Here, To Help Myself to the Profits?

I bet this made our Cantabrian friends forget all about those nasty aftershocks.

Jackie-
o yurghzshga-
(or some other made up sound expressive of extreme distaste for pseudo-celeb milking the plight of others for it's own advantage (it thinks.) -
I'm afraid we're going to need everyone to confirm that they're okay again... a trawl through twitter has been largely fruitless.
-
Okay but very shaken. Don't know about the others.
-
Nothing from Emma and Harvesbird yet, Isabel and Cheryl okay. If I wasn't such a twitter klutz I'd find more of our peeps.
-
I found this from Dunne rather rich after reading this about politicians.
-
I've texted David Haywood.
-
From David:
"Yes, a few more cracks in our house, but we're okay. We now have electricity (yay); alas no water or sewerage yet. Rain today so taking a break from repairs to write a post for PA. Cheers, D."
-
Oh good. Nothing from Emma tho?
-

I'm such a contacts klutz I don't seem to have her correct mobile no at hand. I'll get onto it.
-
I've texted Karl (the reason I didn't have Emma's mobile is that she doesn't have one!). Will let you all know.
-
Emma's partner tweeted that they are fine - daughter slept through.

Hey Jackie, I suspect if everyone got through the 7 on Saturday, they will be good through the 5 (talking 4 times less remember) albeit a little shaken (doh! obviously). I would also imagine that updates from the PAS crowd could be erratic. Y'know, priorities an' al' ;).
David's "Southerley" will be a humdinger, it'll be nice to hear his take. -

"This is a time of tragedy. It is not a time of entertainment or comedy."
So true. I'm sure my neighbours here in Avonside would welcome a small grey monument to pomposity. Just the thing to shore up that saggy kitchen, provided he keeps his yap shut.

Tweet from @harvestbird:
"We wake. We shake. We don't want anymore quakes. #eqnz"
