ChCh Quake Again! (Full/Completed)

[deeiluka]

And all I can do is send more cyber-hugs........

And say it's great to hear from Annie.......

Yes it does help to talk about it, and write about it.
It especially helps to be able to talk to "friends" made on RC.
The constant TV coverage has made it very personal for a lot of people in other countries. It reminds me of Sept 11. I know there were a lot more people died then, but it was the TV coverage and the comeraderie then that is the same now. I guess Brisbane was like this last month and we here in FNQ earlier this month. Being able to talk about it eases the tension we all feel.
I was so glad to have RC friends during the cyclone and I'm sure Christchurchers must feel the same now.
It's so good to have friends.

Yes,  more cyber hugs is all I too can send

And Yes, Annie's posted too...

And Yes, it's so good to have friends

ChCh, your RChat friends are always here for you, in tough times and in fair weather too.

Hi everyone.,

I am reading all the post with tears falling I wish there was something I could do to help.  I can assure you that all of you affected are in my thoughts and prayers.

Please continue to show the strength that seems to be coming through and thank you for the updates which must be hard for you to do.


Lots of love and hugs from the Uk

Just popped in to read what has gone on through our night

We are thinking of you all

don't forget to make your own record of this and add it to your family tree for those who may want to know the real truth of your feelings at this time in later years

God Bless you all
and MaINZ thank you for your report

Can I ask is the statue of Queen Victoria still up right
We walked through the park there to the river Avon the day we were there after a coffee in the Star Buck Cafe .I did like the little old street just off the main street I bet that's away too

I'm glad all our RCer friends seem to be safe.  I watched the news and was astounded by the pictures.  I've never been to NZ, so don't know what Christchurch used to be like.  It just looked as though it had been hit by a load of bombs.

MaINZ your report made things seem more real.  The bit that made me weep a little was the story about the primary school children being led by their teachers.  They must have practised for hours after the previous earthquake, never dreaming that they would have to do it.

A search and rescue team from Essex was featured on our local news (Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk - East Anglia) last evening, they were flying out first thing this morning - shame we are such a long way from you in NZ, but they are on their way.

Thoughts and prayers are with you.

Can't really find the words to express how sad I feel for all of you.

MaINZ, thank you for sharing your story. I hope it helped you a little to write it and it certainly helped me to understand what a disaster it all is.

All I can say is bless you all and our thoughts are with you.

Lots of love and hugs.

Thanks to all who are keeping us updated.

Glad that Annie is safe(and has a toilet)

We shall keep trying to contact our rellies but do realise that phone lines etc are not working as normal.

Our prayers and thoughts are with you all as always
