Dear All,
Many thanks for your kind enquiries about the earthquake in Christchurch.
I was here and it was frightening. More of a lateral shaking then the Sept 4th 2010. Three separate ones 6.3, 5.7 , 5.2 all scary stuff.
After fetching the children from school we got out of the city and drove down to Geraldine as we didn’t has water, electricity or sewage.
The inner city is a mess, a real mess. I lost a chimney only. The family are all ok.
We now have electricity however the sewage system has been destroyed with a lot of liquifaction, little volcano shaped
ground rock-silt coming to the surface. Big mess in the eastern part of the city. Best thing is to stay out of the city so you don’t use the sewage system,water
and get a good nights sleep without after shocks!! My little girl has been quite traumatised by it, well we all have
actually; the unexpected, the unnerving and how helpless one can be. The earth is angry at the moment!!
And, of course, ZK-TIM slept right through it!!
Thanks again,
Tim

Tim,
Didn't know you were in the thick of it all so am very pleased to hear you and yours are unharmed. (physically at least) My sum total experience with earthquakes was a tremor one morning in Vanuatu and a demo on the earthquake simulator at the Brisbane Expo in 1988. I thought the simulator might have been a bit far fetched at the time but I now take that all back.
Thanks for lettting us know Tim and hope you and your family get through it all with no problems in the longer term.
Best regards
Kingsley
