Earthquake!


In case you haven't heard, we had an almightly earthquake at 4.30 this morning. Our little house stood up well, and surprisingly so did the cliff (well it was still there when we evacuated anyway - we have no power and water).

We did a quick tour of some other Warren & Mahoney houses on the way across town and all seem to be intact. Thanks Sir Miles.
That's the Repetory Theatre above, poor old thing.

  5. Quick update - power back on, water on and we are heading home this afternoon. Still tonnes of aftershocks, but we're feeling brave...

  6. Have been following your blog for a while, am very glad you're okay and that your house is still in one piece. My husband and I visited Christchurch last spring (he's a Kiwi so we visit NZ every other year), and I recognized various streets shown in their now damaged state on the news. All the best.
