Got family down there, sounds really bad this time. Smaller quake but closer and shallower. They just had a big aftershock hit. We are expecting high casualties this time.

It's not an aftershock, it's a new quake from a new fault line. Couple of large buildings have collapsed, we could be into 100's for the deaths.

Jesus. I just saw the news and came straight here.

Tongs and the rest of the Kiwi contingent... I hope you're all alright.

I'm sure I speak for the rest of the Raw Prawns when I say that we're all thinking of you and hope that you and your loved ones are all ok.

Poor buggers are getting hammered with aftershocks, another 5.0 half an hour ago. 65 confirmed dead and they've barely started on clearing rubble.

I lived in christchurch for 10 years. Went to uni there. Had 1 of my children there, they both went to school there too.  Thankfully all our family and friends are alive, homeless but at least alive.

Our thoughts are with our kiwi brothers, Australia sending heaps of support and help and will continue to do so for as long  as required.

The kiwi spirit will shine through.
