Just heard a 7.2 magnitude quake hit near Christchurch, NZ this AM, so just wanted to let you know that FOO energy is on it's way. Praying for all y'all down under.

Initial reports are of widespread damage to structures, power and water, but little or no loss of life. Read more here. http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/asiapcf/09/03/new.zealand.quake/index.html?hpt=T1
Hopefully in a few days Gnome can check in, until then, turn on the Foo generators and get that positive energy flowing.

Gnome is likely to have lost power and internet for a while but there are no reports of casualties as of yet. Hoping for the best.

Am hoping gnome is safe and sound and enjoying tea with his new gf... and am thinking those Kiwis use some funny euphemisms for things.

Yikes! But it seems like there were only two serious injuries, which is pretty amazing considering the size of the quake. Stay safe, Gnome!

Just checking to see if he came on last night...Most likely the computer is the last place he wants to be.

He's probably okay. :)

Gnome's probably okay.

Hope the earthquake didn't cause too many damages to your stuff.

Gnomey, hope y'all are ok down there! And hopefully it didn't mess up your stuff too much. Or you, for that matter.

Edit: and your bikes too! Can't forget about those...

You just know the Gnome is in the thick of it. Helping out his neighbors and helping displaced people or pets. Gnome ain't got time for the interwebz just this minute. God Bless.

Just fyi all - I heard a quick note from him and he's fine, thank goodness. Not that an earthquake is any picnic to recover from, but still....

For real, huh? :notamused:

For all he knows we could all be crying now, thinking he's all smashed under a building or something and he doesn't even come here to console us.

That's messed up. :mad:
