I hope Everyone In NZ Is OK - That Was A Big One...
 

Most of you know NZ is my second home - They just had a BIG quake - It seems that they may have got away with it somehow...

Skype will be running hot tonight.....

Everyone is NOT ok. 2 dead so far:
LMGTFY

I was gonna say "it's just Eddy going for a jog!" :1orglaugh but I saw pics of the damage and it's real bad in some areas with the road ripped wide open and houses split. Hope people make it through ok.

Oddly, ALL of my New Zealand friends live in Australia and they're fine :thumbsup

Two dead for a 7.4 or a 7.8 earthquake is amazing.

Their are more sheep in NZ than humans.

Bitch:1orglaugh!....

Seriously though - It could have been a LOT worse...

There were actually 9 different places it happened..
LMGTFY

But only one that deserves to be called "the big one".

our friends were told to leave their homes and go to higher ground, I hadn't heard about the 2 dead, RIP :(

Just glad there wasn't a Tsunami, they had warnings, but thankfully that didn't occur!
