Feb 22nd earthquake update

Quick update. I'm staying with relatives who have power and water, which puts them into a lucky 20% minority. My house lacks both, and is also in the cordon area, so I can't stay there. It's all pretty horrible and we're still having aftershocks at least every hour, but I'm definitely one of the lucky ones. The PGG building, which collapsed and where they're still trying to get people out, is only two blocks from where I live (the building I was in for the quake is closed, but at least it's standing).

I don't know what's happened to my car - it's at a panel beater's in the cordon, and I have a loaner - but again, this is minor (and I'm thrashing the loaner, as there's a lot of flooding and road damage, and it takes ages to get anywhere). I think everyone I know well is okay, but I feel as if I'm just waiting to be proven wrong.
