Earthquake in Christchurch N.Z.

[Zumbilly(Murdoch)]

I have been reading of this disaster on the U.S.Forum.
My very good friend Paddy Long (who is also a member here), lives in Christchurch.
I have mailed Paddy to let Him know Ann and Myself are happy to hear He is safe.
Spare a moment to think of the unfortunate people who have lost their lives in this tragic happening.

I saw it on the news this morning. It's terrible. My parents live in New Zealand but thankfully on the North Island, although they do get a lot of tremors where they are, too.

They (Christchurch) had one not too long ago, as well. Anytime I see "Earthquake hits New Zealand" headlines I'm scared to click on the link.

Glad to hear your friend is safe!

Very grim. You never know when tragedy is going to strike. Glad the fellow Zumster is OK.

Hey lads I just saw this post ... even though it's a few months down the line, we are still getting some serious aftershocks, although hopefully they are tapering off a bit ...we've all had a gutsful of them to be perfectly honest ! All is well with yours truly, although my house is a little bruised and battered - and we can't fix anything up just yet due to the ongoing shudders !! There is a lot of plasterers sitting around waiting for the word hehe !!!!

just been over to the Aussie steel convention for a break in the shakes -- at least we have been having a very mild winter so at least the mess the place is in hasn't had large dollops of rain dropped on it, just to make things even more miserable

We will endure and bounce back !!

thanks for your concerns -- the Zum's are all safe
