Finished watching an episode of farscape and flicked over to TV - big news about an earthquake in New Zealand.

My frien Cathy lives not far away. I rushed on the PC to send her an email and discovered she'd sent one first. She's OK, but her back garden is wrecked where a wall fall over. Her garage door was opened when her car (in first ear) walked itself forward by 6 inches. Power and water off in many areas. Luckily Cathy's a bit of a survivalist so she has her own generator to keep going when she needs power.

Updates soon.
