Thanks Muzzy. Can't keep up with all the updates.

There almost seems to be a chain reaction going around the pacific ring. Gives one a sick feeling in the stomach.

Hope you find your friends safe and well Moorfnz.

This earthquake is nothing compared to what is going on in the middle east

These Helis give a good visual of how the world has reverberated today. I wonder if this will again affect the tilt of the planet.

Yeah thats a worry, nothing from the epi centre yet

what do they mean "unliveable"?

Total devestation?

Big crisis in the city right now is the CTV Building on fire, unknown how many people still trapped inside.Choppers dropping water by monsoon buckets.

Not sure what they mean by 'Unlivable' can only guess that it's been flattened.

The only one that counts is this one

aeria near epicenter seems to be an nearly perfect round bay... old crater????

They have just reported 17 confirmed deaths in NZ.
