Christchurch, New Zealand Earthquake


http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/4095395/7-1-earthquake-photos

A photo of the street near Erin and Stephen's house after the 7.1 earthquake near Christchurch this morning. We had a couple of hours of worry until they walked to a friend's place that still had power, phone and water! Parents are happy and a little more relaxed, though NZ news saws many people will be evacuated out of the city.

For more on the fortunes of Christchurch a year after the quakes see my updates in January, 2012.

    2am Sunday morning here in Christchurch and we just finished watching a movie. It felt like we were on a cruise ship rumbling softly through the ocean. Very weird feeling. Not much sleep here.
    Love you lots,
    Erin

    I imagine its going to take a while for sleep to come easily after the excitement of waking up to an earthquake. Thinking of you both with love, Mom

    This is very off-topic, and I hope everything turned out for the best in NZ, but would you like to join your fellow Yukon bloggers at Urban Yukon (http://urbanyukon.com/)? If so, just visit the site and click the "join" link at the top and I'll get you signed up lickety-split.
