Hey,

I am just sending a shoutout to check on all our great community members from ChCh and New Zealand. I have read there has been a few earthquakes there and I am hoping you, family & friends are all ok.

We had 3 quakes above 5, one was a 6 It had been pretty settled for the last few months or so until today, and ill tell you it sucked big time, just when you think it may be coming to an end, it throws up some biggies Power out again for a few hrs, some havent got power still, more liquefaction in some parts of the city...................merry bloody xmas

No deaths this time though so thats a positive i suppose.

My cat was run over after being spooked, so on a personal level, even though we got no damage, it ranks up there with Feb for me..

I wonder if these quakes might affect The Hobbit.

I don't think the quakes were felt in Wellington, where any on-set filming will be taking place. If they're on location in the South Island, maybe, but it would depend on where they are.

Yeah, I wanted to shout out to you fellas too.

I was on Ventrillo to a mate of mine, whos about 20 minutes outta Christchurch, we were laughing and joking until he screamed profanity followed by "WE GOT ANOTHER EARTHQUAKE" - Myself and the 12 other people in Ventrillo were like waiting anxiously to find out if all was well...a couple times screaming his name lol.

About 10 minutes later he comes back and says "well...that was a bit of a nice shake!" -.-

I hope all is well on ur side guys!

Well we're up to nearly 9.5k recordable quakes since the first in sep last yr

You can go here to view exactly where and the magnitude and clicking the links to the left it shows when and where they hit in a sped up " real time " animation.

One in a Thousand yr event so they say, no city on earth anywhere has experienced what we are going through, well isnt that nice. Couldve waited another hundred yrs or so

Looks like the whole thing is progressing further to the east and out to sea with each event. Also looks like it isn't over yet either
