Mal,
Thanks for having the time to express those very REAL thoughts feelings and experiences of how the quake affected you and your family, and how it must have affected so many others.  I, too, would like, with your permission, print and show it to others.
Once again our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Omega, try not to worry, communication lines in Christchurch are not reliable at the moment and if your cousin has dial up internet, its possible they have no connection. I know its difficult not knowing how people are, text messaging has been our most reliable communication, and its not great at times either.

I'm hopefully thinking that soon maybe they will be able to put out a list of missing people?  I have a friend in Christchurch, but no news of her yet.  Overseas people might like to check out www.stuff.co.nz - keeping pretty well up to date on there, with constant updates. It's NZ National News site. They did have a "Person Finder on there yesterday, but I can't find it today.

Sadly, it's not a pretty sight, but at least you can take it at your own pace!  :(

Hugs to everyone around the world who are suffering the anxiety of all this! And the support I see on here for those in Chch is absolutely fantastic.  Thanks also to the Christchurch people for keeping us updated and sharing their experiences with us.

Hi all

Thanks for your concern, I'm fine but out of the house.

Only got internet back this morning and we made a 6 hr "dash" back to Heathcote to get clothes etc.

Last night we just grabbed bedding in case we had to sleep in the cars.

I'm at a cousins in Rangiora with power, water and a toilet!

It is something I hope I never go through again, windows exploding, everything projectiling at me.

95% of the contents are trashed, 8 windows blown out, but we are all safe!

Cheers
