I haven't heard from kiwi, is he OK?
hey thanks all for your concern
I'm ok my family is ok
we are very lucky.
I only have carpet burns on the knees, dad has scraped/bruised knees, yeah I was in the kitchen when it struck, my sister was over for lunch with her children and dog, we were jolted to the ground, and soon hugged under the doorway waiting the long seconds and minutes.
All of my family was together, we were lucky, my father was out, but soon got in touch, my brotherinlaw was out, he tried driving too us, but because of standstill traffic, he walked over cracks to us. I greeted him with wine
arh, so most of the family are moving to the country side for power and water, I have power now, but no water, my sisters house is still without power and water.
I am going to see a few friends tomorrow
There are a few petrol stations working out of town, to the west of central christchurch, should be off there in the morning. lucky I have some diesel left, but the light is on.
there is lots of liquefaction around, lucky its not in my street, people are supporting their neighbours its nice.
Hope other WP members in Christchurch are safe
thanks for the concern again
