We are just outside Christchurch and the damage & lives lost is unbelievable as was the shock of Earthquake itself. We were only just becoming confident that life was almost back to normal after the last big one. For anyone waiting to hear from family friends, the Red Cross are doing a wonderful job of trying to contact/trace lists of missing folks. If I can be of any help in contacting any family/friends by phone please do not hesitate to let me know & I will do what I can. We still have a lot of land phone lines out but cell phones are pretty much online ok.
Nice to know our manx family is with us :)
kind regards
