to our Kiwi neighbours this morning who have suffered a 7.8 earthquake 100km north of Christchurch. It's been reported that sadly two people have lost their lives.

Much appreciated Denny. I haven't heard much about it as I have been travelling all day but my first reaction is NOT AGAIN! Our thoughts and prayers to all & we hope this Tsunami doesn't materialize.

I'm sitting in Amsterdam airport out of touch. I assume the Tsunami danger has passed? Best wishes to all in the quake area.

What's with Amsterdam? Running from Tr.ump or having a holiday?
The Amsterdam I remember is a city covered in fog...no way in, no way out.

Just transitioning in Amsterdam, now looking out over Palm trees towards Table Mountain, sipping a nice Neil Ellis Left Bank. What's wrong with that picture?

I am horrified by the news of another NZ earthquake - may the people who suffered as a result being helped and may the dead ones rest in peace. Awful news for the friendly people of NZ.

The quake struck shortly after midnight, my bed started rockin & rolling & I felt like I was at sea onna lilo . I waited hoping & expecting it to stop but when my wall hangings started to samba I was up & out of there .
Really NZ dodged a bullet ..... the epicentre was in a rural area & the late hour helped as well . Most of the damage seems to be infrastructural, roads, rail, landslips etc.
