A view of Christchurch from the hills the minute after the quake. I was in the middle of this and so were so many others.
That dust cloud is from collapsing buildings and it is just...so- Indescribable.
On the side of lovely things though, I called my workmates from ACU in Melbourne because they left panicked messages on my Facebook yesterday. It was so nice to talk to them. They put me on speaker phone and they all yelled "HI WE LOVE YOU HOW ARE YOU WE MISS YOU" and various word-clouds of loveliness. Then Lisa spoke to me for a good half an hour before they all got back on to say goodbye. They are so lovely, and I miss them!
Tonight I made a sort of spaghetti sauce out of tinned tomatoes and herbs and spices. It was a little weird, but good! And we ate more of Alison's Amanda-food. And we got water from a tattooed man at a primary school. But he wasn't creepy, he was lovely!
EDIT: A post on Leah's journal of our own photos here In the photo of our rainwater collection, my kitty is staring out the window at Alison taking the photo. She is ADORABLE. /biased.

She is currently stalking pushpins and deciding they're bugs. She's not the brightest star in the sky, but I love her.

It's only just really starting to dawn on my just how fucking lucky we all were.
I don't have anymore words at the moment.
That photo has just stunned me.
Cath wants to know where did you find it?

I found it on the Twitter feed on the news site, which I had only just glanced at. I just randomly clicked it and went "...oh."
It's on the Stuff.co.nz's collection of pictures for day 3 now as well.

and what's with people buying milk and bread? milk i can understand, sure. it's an ingredient in many things. but bread goes bad so quickly... me, i'd be clearing outthe canned goods and packacged foods, bottled water that sort.
also - liqufaction. nasty business, that. explains alot of the damage.
