Hi Colin, Good to hear from you. How is your home and business? Charlie Colin Roberts wrote: Hi Charlie, Don, Brian and All, Thanks for your concern - Annaleys and I just got back late last night from a relaxing cruise and a few days in Singapore - so missed all the action - but all family is safe and sound here.Brian and Don summed it up pretty well, its infrastructure and services that is going to take sometime to get sorted. Our earthquake building code is pretty stringent but there are still many buildings which were built before those requirements were brought in. We spent over $80,000 just on the foundations of our beach property north of Auckland to meet the current requirements three years ago. A lot of money to pour into the ground for a once in a lifetime event, but in times like this, one does re-assess the value of doing so. I think the buildings suffering major structural damage would have not been a surprise to the engineers currently accessing the damage in the Christchurch area. Those ones built to the new codes, I believe, have little if any damage. Still it is remarkable that there wasn't loss of life. Timing is everything. At 4.30am the streets were pretty much deserted but there were a few close calls with falling chimneys and roofs etc collapsing inward into bedroom and living areas of homes.

He lives in New Zealand, and I think it may be Christchurch. As you may have heard, yesterday, they had a 7.0 earthquake. The news says no one has died, which is encouraging. Colin organized our last DP conference in 2004.
