Two decent earthquakes in one day and lots of little ones.
Just popped in to say that this afternoon at 1pm. we got hit by 5.5 earthquake and then 1.20 minutes later a 6. It was terrible I fall off my chair and hurt my hip and knee as I scrambled under the table, all but 3 of our clients went under tables or went straight to the floor. We got straight back to work and I stayed in the workroom as I didn't want to go back to the candle room. Just as I went in to turn on the vat for tomorrow, another hit, a 6 I couldn't get under the first table as it had stuff under it (must remember to move that) and so I threw myself under the other table hurting my shoulder...........hell's teeth. Basil got thrown out of bed and Aj was in a local mall where everyone ran out screaming, we immediately outside after the 6 and stayed there till our clients were picked up, it got very cold, but everyone was calm. Basil is tidying up our room which looks like a bomb has hit it, I'll be going to work tomorrow, because what else can you do, but I'm terrified, no-one killed although we have injured. Please, please let it stop soon as we are so over it, everyone cried (staff and clients ) at sometime today, we don't try and be brave any more. Sorry had to get it off my chest, it's so cold and some people have no power or water, bugger this for a joke. Love Aunt Bee.

This puts my constant moans about the lack of sunshine here into perspective. I cannot begin to imagine the terror when the whole world shakes. I hope your injuries get better soon. It sounds like a war zone, but you can't fight back.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear this, and really feel for you all. I so wish the quakes would stop as well, it is so sad to read that this is happening in one of my favourite cities in New Zealand.
ReplyDeleteWhen is this crap going to stop for you? We even felt the bigger one down here this afternoon nearly six hours drive away! Please take care of yourself, if there is anything we can do, anything at all - please, please let me know!
ReplyDeleteWe were shocked to hear of the quakes today on the news. We hope for your sakes that it will stop soon.
