Hi Guys, just as an aside it seems the reports of looting were wrong, the police say they have had no reports of looting. They did however arrest a "well known" group of criminals trying to get into the town centre dressed as local government officials. What can you say, there are scumbags everywhere. The damage in the Canterbury area is extensive and in some places the ground has liquified and turned to sandy jelly that houses just sink into. The power guys have worked hard and 80 percent of the city now has power and water though the rural areas will be out for some time.
All the best.
Mike
