    ARMY THREAD 22 Feb 2011

    Hello Hello from shakey old Christchurch,

    Another bloomin earthquake went off today this time it was way more destructive than the one in September. My condolences to everyone who lost family and friends today.

    It's funny how things happen, at my first lecture this morning I said "Ohh I've never felt a good aftershock yet", then just before it happened a few friends and I were going to go up to the 3rd floor of a lecture block to have a look at some reading material. I said "hang on I just need to get my phone out of my car". It was when I was sitting in my car that the quake hit. Our side of town wasn't badly affected just cracked roads and burst water pipes and books and chairs upturned. The CBD has demolished buildings, fires and unfortunately fatalities.

    On a sunny note I hope you are all well, and don't sweat the little things today.
    Love Zeppie

      Jeez Zeppie, I'm glad you're OK.

      We are seeing the most horrible images here, through your channel 3 to our 10.

      Safe safe girl.

        I am safe at home now with the dishies, I live 45 mins drive out of the city. You can still feel the aftershocks here. We definately got off lightly in September, it struck at night and was 35km deep, this time it hit at lunchtime and was only 5km deep. Very horrible indeed.

            It was crazy Tips, people just wandering around not knowing what to do. Just trying to make sure all I know are safe. It just said on the news that 17 people are dead so far but they have not got to many of the buildings that have crumbled.

                This just does my head in. I'm so sorry for Chch, for NZ, for the world, for the planet.

                Stay safe, Zeppie.

                  thanks Tawny - they have cancelled Uni for the week, so will be keeping well away from the city. I just hope that there is something us lucky ones can do to help.

                  Mother Nature has certainly been punishing the planet lately

                    There will be.

                    In the meantime, I think all of us should go back to your first post ..."Don't sweat the little things today".
