I know of one person who has lost there home and a cousin's dog was crushed by a boulder. I am sure there will be a lot of stories that come out over the next few days. I can't believe the photos, the video footage, the devastation - surely it is somewhere else.
Below is a link of one video of some of the destruction. This is not far from where we used to live.

To all my whanau, friends and everyone else in Christchurch our thoughts are with you - stay safe.

I was shocked to see pictures of places I visited last year - now destroyed. I hope information on how to help will be forthcoming in the next few days...
I'm glad your family is ok ! Kindest thoughts to everyone there .
It is definitely the most terrifying thing I have ever experienced. I don't think I've ever jumped out of bed so fast, barking out instructions to hubby to grab my son while I grabbed my daughter before huddling in the doorway for what felt like hours. Because we didn't have power I didn't even realise how bad it was until we drove around to my MIL's and saw the buckled roads and damaged houses. So scary.
