Earthquaaaake!

Hope you are okay. The biggest earthquake I have been in here in earthquake central, with major destruction to our infrastructure, was 6.9. 7.4 is very much bigger.

The aftershocks are more frightening, I think, because you know they will be coming.

My for you and yours and the kitties.

P.S. Oh, I have been to Teawamuto, Auckland, Rotarua, and Lake Taupo. Love NZ.

I'm so glad to hear that you are safe Kellye. I immediately thought of you when I heard it on the news this morning!

We are still experiencing aftershocks....gosh, they are awful! I hate the feeling when they start and you never know if they are going to get bigger or not.

He is a paraplegic (motorcycle accident) and his personality would have to be called "prickly."

are you OK Kellye?...

Things are slowly getting back to normal. I find it amazing that the road is already being repaired here. Us kiwis are a resilient bunch.

We have been getting aftershock after aftershock. (that doesn't sound right) but otherwise, we have been good. You can see all the aftershocks we have had here: http://www.geonet.org.nz/earthquake/...nt_quakes.html We are SO over them!!!!

I have had word from my friend in Christchurch. He says he's fine, all things considered.

He also pointed out that this earthquake was the same size as Haiti's, and his biggest hardship was being without electricity for 3 hours.
