I was down in El Centro, CA when the Easter Sunday 7.2 quake hit. Even though I am a native Californian, that was quite a ride.
Hope everybody down there is OK. I've seen some news coverage and it looks like there was some moderate damage in some areas.

GA lives in Christchurch, doesn't he?
I always remember because the name + his username is ironic.

Just wait a few hours.
The disturbance has awaken the giant drop bear and he will be destroying your home soon.

Hope he's okay.
Power is out all over there, though, so it wouldn't surprise me if he can't post for a while.

Auckland is okay, apparently we felt a slight tremor but I slept right through it. But yeah, Christchurch is pretty shaken up. Water is urgent, conservation is strongly advised, most water is out and what is there may be contaminated. It may take a week for all the water to come back up. Around 75% of the city's power is down, and virtually all of rural Canterbury is out.

Extensive structural damage by the looks of it in Chch tho there are no reported deaths so far. Looks like people are mostly ok so that's good. By the looks of it it's going to take a while to rebuild. Pretty damn big earthquake.
I woke up sometime during the night but I only heard the pretty strong rain so didn't feel anything up in Auckland. I actually found out about it when I got phoned by my parents from overseas to see if I'm ok. Now that's a bad way to wake up.

Hey guys, yes I'm extremely close to the epicenter and the quake was very strong indeed! I'm ok though. Pics coming very soon. Big mess to clean up :-/ I only just got power.
Thanks for the kind (and not so kind) words.

Gayner lives on the North Island so he's very far from the quake. I have heard there are a couple of people in critical condition, but I don't have a lot of details.
