thanks for your concerns David, sorry only just seen this, we are fine, it is a long way from me, it was also in the North island in wellington city, where my nephews family are, he was down there with his wife when it happened, there was one a few weeks back also and he was there too,so scarey stuff, remember my sister was on holiday when the big one struck in christchurch, so i get really worried, it was felt up here apparently, not that i felt it.

yes it is horrible,NZ seems so unstable right now, again thank you for asking,i really appreciate it Bro. its nice someone cares.
