ChCh Quake Again! (Full/Completed)

Echo that Annie .... sorry to hear you have gone through so much damage though!

Hi all,

ok by me to print account.  Yes it always help to talk as we did in the park, and write. I had distant German relatives who fled in front of the Russian army at the end of the WW2. I was inspired by their diaries.  And their efforts and opinions are not found in any official accounts.

Cheers

Oh Annie, I hear Heathcote was hit bad.  Even the Mayors parents house was written off!  Hope you are safe in Rangiora?

Still no phones to many, so to those who have not heard anything do not panic.  Even I am waiting on contacting my Aunt who is 86 years old living near Bromley, the phones just are not working.

How sad about CTV.  To see the people who you kind of know are now dead.  Donna the host of the shopping show was always a bundle of smiles and always talked about her children with such pride, she even had a baking show which she was inclined to add those M&M's into her recipes, my thoughts go to her family and to the other family members of CTV.

Also all the Japanese students who were here only a week are all dead apart from one.  Such a shame.  This event is now global including the death of an Australian.  

Over 20 bodies are lying under the Cathedral, it is unknown if they are tourists or Christchurch locals.

Even deaths in the suburbs.  One man came across a bike, and thought he should dig down to make sure.  He came across a body.

Sumner is on alert with the risk of more boulders falling.

We are told to bury our waste in the garden.  I have been good and poured used dish water onto the garden and not using too much.

Tomorrow I hope is a better day for recovery and repair.  The feeling around Christchurch is disbelief and shock .
