Update

[micheinnz]

Just talked to Mum, there is extensive damage to her land, cracks in the foundation of the house, the front door doesn’t open, they have phone but no power or water or sewage. Liquefaction and “sand volcanoes” all over the place. Both cats have taken off. Woody didn’t come back for 3 days after the September quake. Bookie hid under the bed for that

GoodThoughts going out to them (and everyone else there).

Glad you and yours are safe. Wishing everyone there all the best in dealing with the aftermath.

Will donate a bit to the Red Cross, just on general principles (I figure even little donations add up, if enough people contribute).

So very very relieved.

:-( That's not good, all the damage and such to the house. And the cats disappearing is just worse still. Glad they're okay though, and that you must have DH home by now. *big hugs* must be hugely stressful and awful for you.
