Are all our NZ watchers ok? Quake in Christchurch
Hope everyone is ok? Cambo, where are you? North or south? And where's VS these days? 


I'm in Wellington, but I have friends in Christchurch, so it's worrying. Multiple deaths have already been confirmed
. Seems like it wasn't as big a magnitude as the last one, but shallower. Would people like updates from Stuff.co.nz?

Glad to hear you're aok, Cambo! Hope that everyone you know are aok...but, yes, watching the news here and unconfirmed fatalities.
Some of the footage is terrible (and terrifying). 
Vain is north island and he's ok.
So now we've got to work out where VS is (he used to be in Christchurch, I think...where's Menolly when you need her!
).

Word down the electronic grapevine is that Variol Son is indeed in Christchurch, as well as a few others including Dorian.
No-one should panic if they are not heard from right away- power is out to 80 percent of the city.

One of my friends here on the Watch from when we played Montresor's Borderland's, Shadow Strike, lives in ChCh. He says the only area really affected is "central," which Cambo tells me means the central business district. Apparently the quake hit during a busy time of day there, but if those we are wondering about were not in the central business district when it hit, they should be fine. Just unable to get word out.

It appears that all my friends (and even acquaintances) in Christchurch are ok, although a couple of them have lost homes. I'm relieved, and that makes me feel kinda selfish, as I'm basically relieved that some other person was part of the body count
.

Is she related to the drummer Ricky Gooch?I hope my friend Lisa Gooch is ok. She's in Upper Hutt.

First I've heard of this quake. Glad the Watchers are ok.
