ChristChurch Earth Quake v2

[Harding Jr]

You poor buggers! I hope everyone is alright down there. Flick on your TV guys. They have gotten it reaaaaally bad this time. I hope everyone's ok .

My thoughts are with you all.

[KSR Aaza]

Fire service just announced that there's been deaths this time.

[GAZZA]

This is just terrible news.
Every TV station in Oz has coverage and it doesn't look good.
Hope everybody is safe and our thoughts are with you.

I was on the phone to a christchurch colleague at the time , heard things falling and people screaming then the phone went dead.
Hope you christchurch fullas are ok there is next to no communication out of there at the moment.

[KSR Aaza]

TV3 have a live stream for those at work that are wanting to tune in:

Some of it is pretty graphic.

[Harding Jr]

Just got a reply from Bull, all he said was "The citys fucked bro".

I get two things from this.
1. Pluck's mint
2. The guy that played down the first quack said that the city is fucked.

[Blenderer]

Yes I was watching the news at lunch time and they showed some footage of the city, it doesn't look good at all. Hope all Christchurch KSR members and their families are all safe.

[Stumpy]

My thoughts are with the bros and people of Christchurch... Very sad news

[DraK]

My thoughts are with all those in Christchurch and hope you all safe.

[Sulley]

Jeez, been following events...bloody hope hope all our ChCh friends are ok...except Bull of course, who like a roach would probably survive an atom bomb

a few of us at work in wellyville felt the quake also...then went online and oh shite...
A collegue of mine was on the phone to a guy in chch office, who was still hiding under his desk after it happened, the building next the office had just collapsed...

Hope all friends and fmaily are safe n sound

[steve]

Hearts go out to all in chch hope fellow racers are ok ...
Such a mess

[OzGTRXU1]

Just seen the news and wanted to say I hope everybody in that area is ok..

[Ugmo]

Cheers for the well wishes guys, was definitely a shock to the system that one, our house is a mess, food and broken glass all through the kitchen, the TV I saved in the first quake is on the ground so heres hoping its ok, my pc monitor etc had a wee fly across the lounge too but again unsure of the damage.

Have left the city out to the in laws farm where there is water and power.

Just glad the wife was at home on holiday and not at work in town or who knows! My heart goes out to all those who have losed or trapped loved ones in this. We were so lucky to only get away with a bit of broken stuff in the house and some liquifacation.

I have some photos so will upload tonight if I get the time.

[spanky_nz]

Our thoughts go out to any KSR members in Christchurch, we have a few SCu boys and their families there aswell.

[krusty]

My best wishes and thoughts go to our KSR family in Christchurch.

[Bull]

Pretty decent shake up. I was working under a car at the time it struck and when the car was shaking above the hoist without actually touching it I decided to bail haha. A few windows shattered and stuff which never happened with the last one, this was def a lot more violent.

Im yet to head home in Woolston, all that side of town was blocked off from work so just hiding out at the mothers place in Belfast in the time being. Surprised to have internet since we don't have any phone lines.

We also acquired a small dog by the name of Zero, so if anyones missing a small dog we have it

65 Confirmed deaths so far Central Christchurch is absolutely FUCKED, no other way to describe it. Communication is still very slow coming, I hadn't heard from any family until around 4pm, 3 hours after it struck.

[JFF-Thmpar]

Hey guys very pleased to see most people have been here to check in.
Hope that the ones we haven't heard from yet are tucked up safe with their families.

Best wishes and thoughts go out to everyone over there.

[WMS-Butakup]

Just to let you know us WMS guys are thinking of you all at KSR. havent heard from my mate "Pitsy" yet anyone have info let him know we are thinking of him and his family.
Butters

[MENTL1_CHB]

I know hamner springs is about an hour out of chch but has anyone heard from our friend hawkins at all??? just tried to ring him but his ph is a no go.

[Ryan]

and isnt ratman down there too?

[Ugmo]

Rat I'm pretty sure is in hanmer, they were pretty much unscathed from the quake from what I have heard.

Went in today and cleaned up all the glass etc at our place and the streets are pretty empty unless you are near a gas station that is open or on the main roads out of town. The town is a mess but like I've told others, we will band together and rebuild this city. Im not even a cantabrian I just live here but the community spirit is huge and they wont let this get them down (much)!

[Bull]

Finally managed to get over to my house today, dunno where you were looking Ugmo but there was traffic absolutely EVERYWHERE! I had to go pretty much 45 mins out of town, around CHCH for a 1.5 hour journey that would normally take about 15-20 mins.

Quite a bit of damage at home, cracked walls, the roof supports have all moved and cracked so roof just hanging on there, tiles moved etc. No power or water out there yet.

Both my Electric Guitars were damaged, computer thrown across the room as well as the TV, monitor etc. Won't know their condition until the power gets back on so I can boot them up etc.

Lost a couple of trophies from racing as well which was a bit of a bummer. Amazingly only lost one bottle of beer out of the fridge, most other glass stuff just fell. Lost a lot of plates and stuff though.

Spent most of the day cleaning up the house and giving the neighbours a hand with the street etc, that sandy silt stuff everywhere. Then grabbed my essentials, some clothes, phone charger, and my Metallica Collection and headed back out to the parents place for the night. Hopefully get power back tomorrow

[maxlev]

Haven't heard from Heppy for eons, he lives in shudder city.

[Harding Jr]

Then grabbed my essentials my Metallica Collection

That's a shame about the trophies man. Keep them and send them in to be repaired man. You will be amazed at what they can fix these days. Everything else man although it seems a lot to you can be replaced. Hang in there brother.

Keep trying to get through to Hawkins Mentl. But with things being the way they are chances could be he isn't aloud back to his home or cant get back there for whatever reason where his cellphone charger is (or doesn't have power).

People we don't yet know if they are safe or not...

From what the feeling is here in Gisborne from people with family in ChCh is most of them are getting the hell out of there. They don't want to live there anymore they just want to leave. Some are aleady on there way back up to Gisborne to stay with family indefinitely.
