Re: The Christchurch earthquake

[Guest guest]

Hi Adelaide,

Thank you for your concern. I do live in New Zealand, but not near the

Earthquake zone. Carol Carr is from Christchurch, and I've heard she is safe -

not sure about her house or anything else though. Not all of our members have

internet either, so there's some that I personally don't know about but I've

asked.

This was the second major earthquake in less than 6 months, and the people of

Christchurch are very traumatised and frightened.

If you are interested you can see some of the earthquakes here:

www.geonet.org.nz - recent quakes will list the last 30.

For news, www.stuff.co.nz or TV3, or the New Zealand Herald will all give you

information and pics....

It's a very scary time for everyone, as NZ is a small Country and here, most

people will know someone that knows someone that lives there and is affected...

Thank you, Caela, for your messages. It was indeed a blessing,

and a relief, to hear from you, as I was concerned. I am a BBC addict,

so have been following the news with a sense of sorrow. I do hope all our

LP connections are safe, if living in that area. As the NZ Prime Minister

said, NZ is such a small country anyway, no matter WHERE

one resides in NZ, one is touched by the loss...and the many acts of

kindness and heroism too.

Thank you again, Caela.

Take care,

Adelaide
