So apparently a massive earthquake hit Christchurch this morning an hour before I left Helena (I'm in Salt Lake City, whoooo Mormon Country) and I don't know if my friends and my kitty are alright :( Well, and my stuff, but that can be replaced.

Most reports I am seeing say only minor damage but not what I needed to hear an hour before I fly away. And, I am sure, not what anyone in the South Island needed. Shit, son. And power is out and mobile services are down.

Someone talk to meeeeee!


EDIT: Holy shit... http://www.stuff.co.nz/lightbox/the-press/news/4095796/?KeepThis=true&TB_iframe=true&height=560&width=640

Now I have to board.

I just saw about it and was worried about you. I couldn't remember when you flew out. Not a relaxing way to start a long flight! I'm glad you're ok. Keep us posted on the rest. I am so glad we got to see you. LY

Dad has checked our house and said that Adriadne is okay! A few things fell over and my room is apparently a mess (!) but nothing broken.

Airport is closed at the moment but they hope it will be up again by midday, so hopefully you won't get stuck in auckland. Might be some backlogging though.

Hopefully you'll be able to check this before you arrive home too...

Have managed to check in with most people we know and they are all fine. The worst damage seems to be Cath and Jen's side of town but they're alright. Lots of big aftershocks. Toilets may be more of an issue than power but time will tell. A state of emergency hasn't been declared at the moment but that might change. Have sent you a text but the mobile networks were starting to fail but might be ok by the time you land.

There's bottles of water and that under shelves in the pantry! Hope you don't need that either but they did warn everyone to conserve water.

Love<3

We're all fine! No deaths or injuries, tho I keep feeling aftershocks and I don't know if I'm imagining it or not... it freaked me the fuck out tho o.O

But I have power and water, and I'm going to make myself a toastie so I'll feel better.
