This is terrible and very sad. Sending good thoughts.
Growing up in CA we were always somewhat ready for earthquakes when they came, and we built accordingly, but what just went down in New Zealand is crazy big. Just curious, when a 7(.1?) hits a city in NZ, isn't it felt all over the islands? How far away does this impact people?
- I was in Milford Sound during the quake (about the same latitude but on the West side). Didn't feel anything.BK

Chistchurch seems to have copped the worst of it, they don't have enough ambulances so police and public with 4x4s ferrying people to hospitals, mostly old heritage buildings damaged Inc their iconic chapel. A lot of natural disasters lately!

yep it's pretty bad - our Creative Director is stuck there - his building half collapsed whilst he was in it, he's lucky to be alive.
He just called saying the city is in gridlock, so he' walking the 6 or so kms to the airport in the hop he can fly out at some point, although the airport has been totally shutdown.The Cathedral in the centre of the city which is the most iconic building is in ruins - having survived the quake in Sep last year. Very very sad, it all sounds totally fucked down there, worried about my friends there as all cellphone coverage is jammed from the traffic...

i just got this email from a good friend of mine-- horrible :(
"My friend Rachel Conley was killed yesterday in new Zealand. Jackie and Rachel have been traveling with each other for the last six months. They were in Christ Church in the south island and they had just come out of a tattoo shop---the ground started to shake violently...jackie doesn’t know why but she ran out into the middle of the street and when she looked back she saw the building fall forward and collapse on Rachel. She dug through the rubble and found Rachel’s arm to pull her out but she was already dead. It was supposed to be her last day in new Zealand...I am having a hard time wrapping my head around this one. I just wept in my bed last night. Can’t remember the last time I cried like that.....pray hard for Jackie---she is in shock---Rachel was her best friend. Not sure if Rachel’s family even knows yet ----it doesn’t seem so from her facebook page. No one has been able to get in touch with them and none of us know them. Jackie will be on the next flight home."
