Thanks for the thoughts, folks.
It's getting on for 4 am NZ time, nearly 15 hours after the lunch-time (12:51) quake. I'm OK, family and friends are OK, but MANY near misses.
Where I am ( power is back now but we still have no water or sewage systems available. My house (basically concrete block) has a few new cracks and broken windows but it's still standing. A few breakages around the house including my keyboard but I'm back now with a replacement.
These last 24 hours from the Christchurch Quake Map
[
www.christchurchquakemap.co.nz]
pretty much sum it up, up to about an hour ago, with many of the latest shocks missing.
We had a couple as I typed which felt around magnitude 5+, and I'm weary beyond belief.
Goodnight all.
