 I didn't know you were in Christchurch! We been hearing about this all day on the radio, It's so terrible. Christchurch's buildings aren't built to withstand earthquakes either are they? Good to hear you're ok, where were you when it happened?? And your place ok? Lucky you didn't have shelves of zoids.Or It Would have been a disaster within a disaster.

Most buildings can withstand an 8 but with the 7.1 before and this being so close and not very deep it destroyed the center city, i was close to the center city (hagley park area) Yeah good thing i didn't have any zoids to break during the quake an the one i do have is still in pieces getting built, house is fine as it is a new building able to survive around a 9 |

it is a nightmare I would have no idea what i would do if i were in the shoes of some people affected by it, guess I'm one of the lucky ones they also gave a rough estimate of the cost it has caused $16 billion and that is just a rough estimate |

and that will rise, thank you to Australia and the US for coming to help us
I didn't know you were in Christchurch!
