I was wondering the same thing...

[tanya]

:eek2:

[tanya]

I did not know. Now this is all I can think of.

[jman]

Was he in Christchurch? I thought he was in Queensland or that area.

Dang @denaliguide (http://www.bogley.com/forum/member.php?u=1382) hope you're safe

[tanya]

He is in Wanaka, New Zealand - but flies for a living I think, so could be anywhere.

I have no idea where Wanaka is though?

[ibenick]

About 263 driving miles away according to Google Maps.

[tanya]

He should be good then if he is home right?

[Don]

Hope to hear from you soon Les.

[tanya]

He was 300 miles away at the time.:peepwall: :doorpeak::phew::party:

Not that I know denaliguide personally, but that's great news to hear that he is ok

[jdgibney]

Great news that he is ok, and thoughts and prayers to those impacted by the disaster.

[denaliguide]

hi guys,

thanks for all of your concern. i am literally overwhelmed. i am fine. wanaka is 300 miles from christchurch and was not impacted. christchurch however has gotten hit again. much harder than the quake back in september. the sept quake was a 7.0, 30 k deep and 50 k away. this quake was 6.3, 5k deep and 10 k from the city. major damage this time. the central business district looks like a war sone. many historic buildings have been reduced to rubble. the previous quake in sept happened at 4am so there was no one on the streets or at work. this one was at 1pm and everyone was out and about or at work. numerous deaths, injuries, and some are still trapped in the rubble. they are all in my thoughts today.

[accadacca]

Glad your ok Les. Good to hear from you! :nod:

[tanya]

Horrible tragedy as earthquakes usually are. It must be terrifying to be trapped under the rubble.

[denaliguide]

if you are interested here's my place.

Is that you bathing naked in the backyard? :mrgreen:


I was pretty sure that big white glow was you. lol

[denaliguide]

i hope not. you would need very dark glasses to avoid retina damage.

[tanya]

:lol8:

Tanya - :lol8:

Les - glad to hear you are okay :2thumbs:

Earthquakes are so terrifying...I was glad I missed being caught in any when I lived in SF. I am sorry to hear that there has been so much devastation there in Christchurch. Hopefully, the loss of life will be minimal.

[oldno7]

Great to hear, Les
