Thanks heaps guys, Christchurch has taken a huge hit with this one, the death toll thus far stands at 65 confirmed, with a further 100 plus missing. It hit during the lunch hour when the CBD was full of pedistrians.

Many folks are sleeping rough tonight out in the open.

Lots of offers of assistence from countries around the globe, some of our Aussi cousins have arrived already! Simply awesome support.

Thanks Toddy

To all our Kiwi friends on the forum, my sincere hopes that you and your families are safe. I hope that the United States government sends immediate humantarian aid to help you, the way you have always helped us in our times of need (like WWII). I know that the private American charities will already have launched a relief effort. I personally will be making a donation to the Red Cross for their eatrthquake relief effort.

Thanks for all kind thoughts from forum members - I will add mine - as my daughter, son-n-law two children and their dog will be spending the night under canvas - as their house is too badly damaged for them to remain in it. Thankfully, all are safe - and am only too glad that both of my daughters loved camping with us when they were young - and have all the kit for outdoors!

Thank goodness it's still summer-time there. johnnybach

I saw the footage from Christchuch in the middle of the night here. There was even foot as the quake was happening. Last night some official said leave the city, but this morning another requested people to stay put. I hope the New Zealanders will bounce back from this quake.

Prayers going out to all of you down there, and for your families and loved ones, for a safe recovery.

I do wish all our New Zealand friends are OK and that people down there deal with this situation the best way possible.
Allow me a special mention to the Cowes from Imperial and Rob (Vandilay), suppose they are OK because they live away from the earthquake zone.

Many Thanks to all your kind thoughts and wishes, its greatly appreciated.

Alot of Kiwis have friends and family living in and around Christchurch, so it effects everyone here.

Rescures have been working flat out during the night, primarily to free the traped.

Authorities plan on evacuating overseas tourists caught up in the quake today to other parts of the country.

Once again many thanks.

Cheers Toddy

Just terrible the sights from Christchurch. It's good to see the ANZAC spirit coming into play. Take care. Simmo.

Great to see rescue teams from all over the world heading for Christchurch today. I know it doesn't help on the ground but the thoughts and prayers of many people around the world are with the people of Christchurch today.
