Day 4 and we still are awaiting news

Well it is officially Day 4 in the Christchurch Quake Disaster.

My family are safe, My little brother has now flown to Invercargill to be with his dad and out of harms way, you can tell he is traumatised & his spirit is broken :(

Mum has her work to keep her going, being a nurse shes holding it together  by being there for her patients.

Our family has taken on some damage at our home but it is still liveable considering how close we live to the CBD.

There are now 102 confirmed dead and 200+ missing, 164 Injured & 11 in Intensive care. Most of us Cantabs know people that are missing & passed away and its heart wrenching. I am still awaiting news of a few friends down there including miss 9's foster parents. Miss 9 was one of my marching girls & one i care about a lot...


I am missing my family and friends who are still down there like crazy. My bestmate thought she had lost her husband on tuesday until he turned up home and told her he walked from town after it happened. They have only been married a week!  She was beside herself texting me thank heavens I could get through and keep her going. I have never been so relieved in my life till i got the text to say he was home. Now im keeping them informed as to where they can get supplies & water because their home has no power or water and they havent even got a radio as the batteries have gone flat :(

I just wish I could do more so I spoke to my mum, She urges everyone not in CHCH to donate! & send your love and support & join in #RedandBlack day today (Friday). There is no point travelling to christchurch unless your loved ones need you or your a medic to help at the hospital or part of the USR teams.

She also thanks everyone for their love and support at this time!

Here is a heart-wrenching pic of my home town taken from the hills moments after the quake :(
