Earthquake in New Zealand - anyone heard from Kellye?

There was a massive earthquake in New Zealand today. Has anyone heard from Kellye? Is she OK?!?!?!?

I saw the news too and immediately thought of both Kellye and Sam. The news story I saw had the byline of Wellington, with the first sentence saying the 6.3 magnitude earthquake was centered in Christchurch. Definitely put my stomach in knots of worry for them!

I know it took a while with the last quake for Kellye to be able to get online. In the meantime, I'm sending all the I can muster for safety, peace and calming for those we know and love, and everyone in that region.

Thank god we are OK here in Welly. I'm worried about Kellye.

It looks to be really bad there this time. Civil defense says the phone lines are down and they're asking people to limit cell phone usuage as the networks are overloaded. I imagine that internet service would be affected too, so I wouldn't expect Kellye to be able to get in touch right now.
Prayers to everyone in Christchurch. I hope Kellye and her family are OK and we hear from her soon.
I haven't been able to phone my family there, guess I'll just keep trying. Not much you can do in this situation, just hope and pray, which is just so frustrating.

This is why I'm here too, to see about Kellye. The footage on TV is horrifying. Oh, I hope she's okay.

I've sent her a text message, I hope she responds soon

Apparently they have no power, so she won't be able to access the internet, and she's probably saving her phone for emergencies. Hopefully we'll hear something soon though.

Kellyes Aunt has posted an update on her Facebook wall to say that their all safe but theres serious property damage

Lots of Coming for you all Kellye

Oh I just read about it sounds awful

for everyone in NZ

Relieved that they are all ok. Prayers for all those who are suffering.

How incredibly heartbreaking and terrifying! Thinking of everyone affected and sending vibes!

Sam, I was so glad to see you posted!

I'm glad Kellye is physically OK, too, even if she does have property damage.

for everybody.

Thanking God that "our" family members (Sam and Kellye) are ok, praying for all concerned, especially those who aren't so lucky.

Thanks for the update Susan...
adding more vibes for Kellye and family.

I had a head thwack moment this morning when I saw Wellington on the news. I completely forgot that Wellington is also in New Zealand!!

Sam I'm so glad to hear you are OK!!

I haven't even heard of a earthquake. I have a college co-worker who is studying this semester in New South Wales so I just posted on FB for any details.

I hope everyone effected is safe.

I hope "everyone" includes the kitties. Really hoping the cats are ok too.

Oh no, this is terrible, sending huge vibes for all those affected.xx

So glad you are alright Sam for all the people affected
