are you all ok ???
Drommy are you ok ?

coalrange1 - 2013-08-16 14:33:00

Told you to stop bouncing iv! Drommy is fine. I rang her immediately...I think she was still under the desk! The other Cinderella is flying back to Wellington from the Waikato...but I don't know whether they will land until the runway is checked. It was a good enough one here...my friend and I were under the doorway!

jumbobon - 2013-08-16 15:11:00

I wondered who had slipped and landed heavily. Hope everyone is ok

barbrose - 2013-08-16 15:34:00

hugs for you all specially Drommy,
daughter and I ran out onto verandah, vans and boat were all moving a foot forward then a foot back and forth !!! it was so scary to see, the handbrakes were on. only a few things fell down.
been lots since ive been in and outside like a yoyo lol.
cloudy here now and getting chilly.

coalrange1 - 2013-08-16 15:40:00

We were in a meeting at work and a lot of nurses and caregivers can fit under two tables.....very scary. I think the residents took it better than us. Got home to a few things fallen over and out of cupboards.

Hope the earth settles soon.
enough shakes. Might just add flavouring to the milk then if we do get it Id at least have a milk shake eh.
Thinking of ya all.

dilligaf_dah - 2013-08-16 16:31:00

Drommy is walking to naenae from Wellington city. She has food and water and comfy walking shoes. The roads are full of people walking because public transport is down. Traffic going into the city is fine but I think those on foot are beating the traffic out!

jumbobon - 2013-08-16 16:34:00

sending more hugs for Drommy, Dilli can you send some potion for her drink bottle that'll help her.
a few places around here are without power.

coalrange1 - 2013-08-16 16:49:00

Calling in to check you are ok Coalie,,Jumbo and Drommy.. Thank goodness you all are..
I didn'tfeel the quake at all but hubby,in his 6 or 7 storey work building said it swayed a lot.
Thinking of you all..

wee5 - 2013-08-16 17:10:00

we had an earthquake here to from Murapara was a long rolling one
the weather is just miserable here cold and raining
had my last chemo on wendseday and my picc line taken out,

twilight23 - 2013-08-16 17:17:00

sending more hugs for Drommy, that was a couple of big ones together :(
daughters bf flight delayed in Auckland, Cinderella will be delayed too :(

coalrange1 - 2013-08-16 17:38:00

sending lots of warm fuzzies {{{{{{{{{{@}}}}}}}}}}} to the shaken glad to see that you are all still in one piece. {{{{{@}}}}}

bhs47 - 2013-08-16 17:53:00

Drommy was picked up by a man and his family and given a ride to pet one by which time the buses were running again. She is in naenae and going to the stupid market before heading home. Cinderella two is also safely in Wellington and heading home by bus.

yay whew thanks Jumbo so good to know they are ok.

coalrange1 - 2013-08-16 18:10:00

Thank you all for your kind wishes! Pretty sure they led to a lovely chap and his equally lovely wife picking me up - would have been a looooong walk otherwise!

Funny, i swapped everything over this morning from my handbag to my schoolbag for no apparent reason. It would have been darned uncomfortable to walk all that way with my over-stuffed handbag! Plus last night I made sure that the wine glass cupboard was shut well and good 'just in case'. Weird coincidences!

Hope everyone's well and not too nervy. Big hugs to the lot of you!

drommy - 2013-08-16 19:11:00

Good that you are home safe and sound Drommy :)
nervy... me ! na not at all haha, don't know why hubby gives me a silly look when I run for the door at the slightest rumble tho hahaha
I so hope they've stopped now, Wee and B I don't know how you got through years of these :((

coalrange1 - 2013-08-16 20:12:00

good night all. hope you are not to shaken

Our cats hiding from the earthquakes. Bingy has chosen 'under the table but in front of the heater'. Rion went for 'surrounded by pillows but on the electric blanket'.

Both good choices.

drommy - 2013-08-16 22:21:00

haha clever cats :)
im going to copy Rion hehe
has started raining here
nite nite

coalrange1 - 2013-08-16 22:46:00

Well hello there lovely ladies. I have woken up and can't get back to sleep so thought I'd drop in to say hi.
Twi...CONGRATULATIONS AND CELEBRATIONS ! That is great news. Are you feeling good as well....because that's the main thing.
I hope vi has got the binding all finished and doesn't need to do any more bouncing. Look what she started yesterday!
Hope you are all sleeping well...

jumbobon - 2013-08-17 01:01:00

Jumbo, I'll join you. Woke at 1250 and can't sleep. Kettle is hot. Come and have a cuppa.
