My gf’s sister was in Christchurch with a friend. The house pretty much collapsed on them. They managed to get out just in time with a mere fleshwound, but it was a frightening experience. Getting out of Christchurch wasn’t easy either. (a) Everyone wanted to leave and (b) the roads were flooded with water and mud and you might aswell have planted your car in a big hole in the road.
