Is everyone in CHCH alright? Man, I woke up at 4.15am and was like WTF. Matt said it was an earthquake, I grabbed the baby, he grabbed Thomas and I honestly almost shat. Thats the most scary thing i've ever experienced!

I hope everyone is alright! I am in Auckland so didn't feel it, but I am at work monitoring server alerts and knew something major must of happened when all of the CHCH networks went down.
Scary stuff!!

omg that was frightening! I woke up just before it struck cause the dog came running into our room and hid under our bed then everything started smashing etc. I jumped out of bed straight away and ran into Isla's room (opp our room) and grabbed her out of her cot and slid under the bed with her cause I figure it was the safest place to be cause it's a lot stronger than our house! Everything in our kitchen is smashed to pieces and our micro system stereo fell off the shelf and onto the computer but it didn't damage it thankfully. I've put Isla back to bed now but I'm too afraid to sleep. I just want to stay near Isla incase another big one hits. I just wish these aftershocks would stop! Hopefully the worst of it is over.
Hope everyone else is OK

I was totally freakin! I've never felt one that bad I ran straight to the girls room and Lay over them with Jess. We're out in Southshore so all the sand helped cushion us a bit. We are one of the few that still have power :) I hope everyones ok. My parents just showed up saying roads are cracked and some buildings in town have collapsed! Made us realise how unprepare we are if something bigger happened.
I was scared to sleep too Lisa. We are right on the end of a spit and all I could think about is what if a freakin tsunami follows!

It's crazy ay! I saw those photos before and can't believe it! Our house is OK, just smashed glasses etc nothing major. But I was just so worried for Isla! I feel sea sick tho cause of all the aftershocks and I'm so close to vomitting you wouldn't believe.
We are seriously unprepared too! A friend just txt and said to fill the bath with water to keep as drinking water incase there are more water outages
