    The only person I know living there is Rabies, and I only know him from his posts here.
    I hope he's ok. He seems like a really nice person.

    Hopefully nobody was seriously hurt or killed.

    In honour of Rabies, I'm going to F11 this thread. I know he'd see the funny side.

    Rabies is in Auckland, afaik. Got in touch with OH's family there before. Thankfully they are ok. Only the TV fell off the shelf and through the floor and the local BP collapsed. We were quite worried for a bit as the news named his mams street and said it was torn up :eek:

    Actually, there are no reports of fatalities yet but the pictures are pretty crazy. It woke us up and we're quite far north of that on a different island. (We're in Wellington).

    Scary stuff. I've checked the earthquake kit to make sure we have enough of everything. They're been predicting a big one that will flatten Wellington to happen soon for the last 20 years.

    Opposite side of the South Island from Christchurch, but was a crash of a skydiving plane today at Fox Glacier with nine dead:

    That's crazy. I was out there a few years ago and it seems like a real peaceful quiet city. I'd say the quake woke em up! :eek:

    I loved those sunscreen/rainprotectors they had on the outside of CBD buildings in Aus/Nz. I always figured they were part of the building structure itself. I guess not.

    Remind me not to walk under one of them in future.
