Hope all is well down there, some horrific pictures shown on TV here in the States. Expecially with people trapped in some of the buildings still.

Japan has sent search teams
U.S.A have sent search teams
U.S.S.R have search teams
Taiwan have search teams
medicle staff and recovery teams from all over have turned up
most countries have poured money back in this direction to help out

Keep us posted Elvis. We sent our prays to NZ in church this morning! More will be coming. Healing will take a long time.

death toll 160 now still lots missing. the chances of anymore survivers are getting very slim.the news lastnight had a feature on "earthquake migration" people are getting out of CHCH in droves and going to towns and cities where ever they can. its like christmas time for retailers with all the extra shoppers here in Timaru. I was having my morning log book break/snooze in my truck yesterday and a gust of wind shook it!!!! wide awake and quivering in a instint and I wasnt even near CHCH when the big one hit. everyones nerves are a little strung out no wonder everyone wants out of the place...

Elvis, it sounds like the exit from New Orleans. Many people may not return. It may take years for CHCH to rebuild and recover its population.

If there is money to be made in ChCh they will be back...
I guess "cat naps" along the road are out for a while.
The both of you take care.
