Another big earthquake

[vilakins]

There's been another big earthquake down in Christchurch, and this one happened in the middle of the day so there are deaths and casualties.

Greg hasn't managed to contact those family who were at work. He spoke to his mother though and she's without power and water and will have to move out of her home. It's probably badly damaged anyway; her neighbour's house is off its foundations. Greg's oldest sister can't contact her daughter who started work in the city recently, but we're hoping that's due to power being out. :-(

Oh no! I hope she's all right. {hugs}

[vilakins]

Thanks. [hugs] I'll post when I hear something.

That's awful. I hope everyone in your and Greg's families is okay.

[vilakins]

I don't have any family there, but almost all of Greg's live there, and they're fine which is a huge relief, thanks. I'm now just worried about the people still trapped.

We're watching on TV at work. It looks awful.
I hope Greg's family are OK.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

They are. I just hope they rescue all the people still trapped.

Oh dear. Just caught this on the news. I'm glad you're ok and I hope it's not too bad down in Christchurch.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

We didn't even feel it up here, thanks. It looks pretty bad this time though.

Poor Christchurch... I hope that all of Greg's family are OK.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

They are; thank you.

Holding good thoughts for your family and friends.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Thank you. Everyone we know is fine, but things are not good down there tonight.

Hoping for the best for Greg's family.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Thanks; they're all fine.

[jomacmouse.livejournal.com]

Very good to hear.

Sorry to hear about Greg's mother's house and hope there's good news of the rest of them soon.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

They're all fine. I think her house is the worst hit, but she's with Greg's older brother for the time being, well out of the city.

*hugs* to both of you! Thinking of you and your loved ones!

Greg's family is fine, thank you. [hugs]

[babel.livejournal.com]

I thought of you when I saw the news. I'm sending good thoughts. ♥

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Thank you. Greg's family is fine, but good thoughts are certainly needed for the people still trapped. [hugs]

[entropy-house.livejournal.com]

*hugs* Oh, I'm so hoping Greg's family are all ok.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

They are, thank you. [hugs]

[azdak.livejournal.com]

Oh, how dreadful. Please let us know about Greg's niece as soon as you can. How awful for her mother to be unable to reach her.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

She was fine; it was the power being out so cell phones didn't work, which is what I thought was probably the case.

[luinielle.livejournal.com]

Sending good thoughts your way. I hope Greg's family are all safe.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

They are, thanks!

[shimere277.livejournal.com]

Oh no! I hope everyone is safe.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Greg's family is, I'm glad to say, but there are still people trapped.

[pinkdormouse.livejournal.com]

I saw that as soon as I switched the TV on, and thought of you straight away.

HUGS

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Thanks. [hugs]

[miss-next.livejournal.com]

Ack. :-( Very best wishes to all concerned - I hope none of the family is hurt.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

They're all fine, thanks.

[spacefall.livejournal.com]

Oh no. I hope you can get some news soon :/

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

All of Greg's family are OK (he's talked to most of them), but there are still people trapped in buildings.

[spacefall.livejournal.com]

Yeah :/ Likewise our relatives are OK though they have lost their homes, but it's horrible to think of people still trapped/hurt (even though obv people will be doing everything they can.)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Apparently now the cell phones are back on, people are phoning and texting to say where they are which is good. There are specialist rescue teams going in which is good.

Oh my dear friend, I really beg the gods to be with you and yours. If I can help somehow, tell me, please. Thinking of you - take care.
Hugs

We're absolutely fine, and so are Greg's family. It's others who need the prayers, but thank you so much. [hugs]
