Default Earth quake Christchurch New Zealand
I have just heard on our news that there has been a 6.3 magnitude earthquake in Christchurch New Zealand. Are there any forum members there? This was within the last half hour. It is now oo:41 AM GMT. Is anyone else in NZ effected by this?

Thinking of you guys. Hope you are safe.

Don

Hi Don,
Thanks for your message.
I live on the East Coast of the North Island and we didn't feel the quake. However it was felt as far south as Dunedin and as far north as Waiouru.
There are American trade visitors in Christchurch at the moment, hopefully they are safe. There are bound to be casualties this time.
Sincerely, Tinto

I've just posted, probably on the wrong page......

My thoughts were...

[ Hi lads,

After all the aggro in Australia over the past few weeks, New Zealand now follows, I've just watched the news and you guys down there need this like a hole in the head.

My commiserations and thoughts go out to you all, what a world we live in ?

Dave. ]

I hope that all of you down there in New Zealand are safe and well. I hope that there are not too many after shocks either.

Condolances for those lost in the devastation. Trusting that the people of Christchurch are aided in all ways possible.
