We are just over 30 hours into it, and it is once again night, dark and cold. There are so many people trapped and we do not know their status. I am lucky that everyone I know is safe and well, even if one cousin is without a home any more. Thank you so much for all the posts of support, we may be physically isolated from the rest of the world but you all seem so much closer through the cyberwaves . I hope that anyone else with friends or family in Chch has positive news about them too. And thank you to all the nations who have sent help over to us, we really do appreciate it.
