Big earthquake in New Zealand. Dene is OK

Another big earthquake in Christchurch with many dead.
Dont know if power or internet has been cut but really hoping to hear that Dene is OK.

Yes, I do hope Dene is ok. Does anyone else on the forum live near that area?

I hope Dene is okay, as well. If anyone hears anything, please do let us know.

There's a great resource for anyone looking to check in on any friends or family they may have that could possibly have been affected by the earthquake in Christchurch: http://christchurch-2011.person-finder.appspot.com/ I was going to set up a person file for Dene but, unfortunately, I don't have a good photo of him which I'm sure would help a lot even though I can describe him well enough. Would appreciate it if someone with a proper photo of Dene could set that up.

This is the best photo of Dene I know of: http://i.imgur.com/UtsvP.png though I am not sure if anyone else would be able to provide better info about Dene's address on the profile, so I haven't filled it out.

Great to here of support from people out side of New Zealand. I have been watching the news all day and unfortunitly it is looking very bad for the city mostley the CBD,but just heard from my brother who is in Christchurch he said most people have recovered now and are in areas with support. my heart goes out to every one down there. R.I.P all 65 deaths so far, and i truly hopping to all still stranded can get out. Kia kaha christchurch kia kaha.

i lost my nintendo ds cuz of that quake

No disrespect man, but a DS is the least of peoples worries at the moment. People have lost lives. A little insensitive in my opinion.

THANK GOD!

 

[David Zemdegs]

Thanks heaps for that. We were really worried....

 

[cmhardw]

Yeah Dene, glad to hear you're ok!

 

[theace]

That's good. I hope everyone else recovers soon too. R.I.P. Everyone who didn't make it. Condolences to their families and friends...

So where were you Dene? And what happened around you and what did you see?
I also read online that someone said Colombo St was completely munted. What does munted mean?

 

[Dene]

Yea I had just arrived on campus, my first lecture of the year was to start at 1pm. Just walking through the UC Students Association building when it hit. It was a very big shake, people say it was a bigger shake than the 7.1, probably because it was closer to the city and shallower.

Then it took me an hour and a half to make what is normally a 10 minute drive.

Lectures cancelled for at least a week XD .

EDIT: "munted" means like "screwed up" or "broken" or whatever. I live just off Colombo Street too, although down this way it wasn't too bad. The city part was probably hit bad. I'm trying to get up to date with things.

 

[qqwref]

Oh wow, this sounds pretty serious. I'm glad you're okay, Dene!

I'm trying to get up to date

Finally, Dene is dating!
