The news has just reported that there may be a final total of 200-400 deaths. So many families torn apart by this tragedy.


I hadn't heard that............ I do sincerely hope not.

Just heard the news. I'm so sorry that you're all suffering after another earthquake.  Heard the MP of Christchurch saying that after shocks from the first earthquake - which apparently you had all got used to  :o - are still happening at the same time as the new earthquake and that it is a totally different plate this time.

Best wishes to you all, I hope all RCers are accounted for.

Just turned the radio on here in the UK and heard the news.

I hope all our RC friends and their families are safe. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Take care.

Also just heard the news! My thoughts are with all of those caught up in these dreadful earthquakes.  I grew up in So. Cal so know all about earthquakes and the ever present dread and threat of another one.

I can only echo the very practical instructions that TwiggyTree mentioned.  Can I also add the following:

Know where your water stop-cock is and also the switches that turn on and off your electrical supply to your home and make sure the children (if they are old enough) know where these very important valves are too. It may be that these things need to be switched off asap. Make sure you have enough batteries for your torches (flashlights) and have enough clean water stored by.

My thoughts are with you all

Just adding my voice to the many from this side of the globe. Christchurch and all of New Zealand must be in deep shock. My thoughts are with you all today.

re the practical stuff... they've been asking people to put out as many containers as they can to catch rainwater at the moment.... and to boiltap water, not easy for those without power of course!

It was sad to see my home town crumble as it did today,  many hugs to my fellow cantabrians,  I sincerely hope you are safe, well and find all your families the same.    Unfortunately I was there in Sept last year and got that one....I can imagine some of your anxiety.       Let us hope it all ends SOON!!

I haven't read all the posts... does anyone know how Newbe is?
