Sunday -13/11/2016 – World Kindness Day

Crossover pic –

It’s just after midnight here and I was woken by a txt from KapitiKats (sister) saying “big big quake but we’re ok”. Heard from Airy (daughter) to say she’s ok too but quite shocked. She heard the quake coming in her sleep and was out of bed into cover when it hit. Some damage (minor)at her place but all ok. The quake was in the South Island and quite shallow at 16km deep amd registered 6.6
No news from the area yet due to time of the night but there must be damage there. Quake was felt over most of the country. I didn’t feel it but many from my city have reported feeling it.
Had to let you all know the we are ok. I hope Jcat is too. Goodnight all, see you tomorrow. Thoughts for all in the quakes area.

Just got Civil Defence tsunami warning for my area, for beach and marine areas. I am higher up and inland a bit.
This entire night has been quite scary, I worry about what daylight will reveal.
Haven’t heard from KK & Airy for some time. Possibly overloaded cell phone towers.
Many coastal areas are under tsunami warnings or evacuation orders.
There have been quakes every minute or so and there must have been close to 100 in the last three hours.
Nothing I have felt here but the house is unusually creaky every now and then.

I too can fit under the bed – but srsly hope that I never have to ‘cept for when frame boards or underbed storage needs re-arranging!

I thought that bathtubs were safest place in quake, or purrhaps that’s a myth.

MS, I just checked out I’Net info on quake. Very frightening. Glad that you updated us on you and family and Jane. Hope that all remain OK and that no one has to evacuate.

Good to hear you are all OK, I saw the news at the gym and could not remember which island you all were on even.

Morning all! …. Love the pics today, so sweet!
Wow! I saw that about the earthquake! …. prayers for everyone’s safety! KK & family, Airy, Meegz, your Mum, Jcat and the MS family – for everyone in NZ!!!

It’s a lovely day here – sunny, temps right around 80 …. and I’m stuck inside, chained to my computer to finish my CE 🙁

L8R all! …. back to it

Moonshadow, I heard about the quake on the news this morning and thought of you immediately. You’re the only person I know in NZ and I am so glad to hear that you are okay. I will keep watch on The Cafe to hear how things progress and sincerely hope there are no more dangerous aftershocks.

Hi all. It’s been a long night short on sleep.
All TDKers here safe. We all live in the North Island with KK,Jcat and Airy living in the lower North Island where the quake was strongly felt and damage has occured. Now that daylight has arrived damage is able to be seen. Police and other groups out checking some isolated areas by helicopter. There is confirmed 2 deaths. The quakes haven’t really stopped, slowed down a bit but still a lot of good size quakes happening.
No quakes in my area further up the country.
Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers.

Amazing evidence of NZ quake’s effect on US.

Which team so you root for JJ? Thought you were a Jets fan. I like The Jets (as in “West Side Story” that is!) 😉

Weather still being decent, although windy. Yup, as Lagatta mentioned in other post, outdoor bikers are way happy as car traffic is insane what with all sorts of street repairs going on. Me, it’s my BMW for getting efurrywhere (Bus/Metro (subway)/Walking.) And somehow I manage quite nicely without a car.

Plan is to call physio in am and see if she wants me to come in. Knee still aches. Could be it just takes longer than a week and it is better and does not stop me from spinning. I just don’t want to hear the unfluffy word (for me) “overuse.” 😮
