Another what appears to be significant damaging quake has hit central CHC.
Airport closed until further notice. It sounds quite horrific and damaging From "The Age" http://www.theage.com.au/world/multi...222-1b356.html Kind regards, Geoff Last edited by Geoff W; 22nd February 2011 at 11:47 AM. Reason: Added link

Looks like ATC are still at their posts at Christchurch too: http://www.ausbt.com.au/air-traffic-...ws-articleleft And apparently an aircraft landed just as the earthquake hit. Last edited by AaronBradford; 22nd February 2011 at 01:14 PM.

I dont intend to send all news that is easily available on the TV/internet.
But CHC, I believe has done it tough THIS time. Two areas I have heard of Lyttleton is one, is "said" to be unliveable! The CBD has been devastated from what I know, for those of us that have been to CHC, the cathedral has been terribly damaged. What a great landmark it was? Terrible news. and I dont know of the loss of life as I post this. I truly hope it is minimal, I feel uncomfortable about that though! For our board members in either CHC or with family (or friends) in CHC, I wish safety to you and yours and all the best to you all at this time.

2x RNZAF Kingairs arrived in sometime this afternoon, plus a Beech 90 (I think thats what it was) as well as a white and a black BK117 from other cities here.
Many helicopters flying around, a squirrel is flying back and forth with a monsoon bucket due to no water in town and fires. Also 65 confirmed dead at this stage.
