All safe

If you've been following the news you'll know we've had a massively damaging earthquake but by luck/fate both Clare and I had the day off. me because it was raining and Clare then swapped to be off with me.
We were coming out of Rangiora and were thrown around in the car and then the radio went off so we knew straight away the region had been hit yet again by a BIG one.
Thankfully all our friends are safe and were in the CBD when it hit and ran for their lives.  Some of their houses are not looking so flash and we're hosting them till we find out more , whether it's safe for them to return.

The response has been amazing, so many many people working together, so many volunteers shovelling silt all day long, cooking meals , filling bottles etc etc.

Cheers Ben
