Terrifying day after a shallow violent quake at lunchtime. Numerous aftershocks already. Office trashed. Was thrown from my chair while books piled on top of me and light fittings fell. Crawled under desk and had to lift filing cabinets off door to escape, grabbing bags as I went. Poppy was with my friend on stairs, safe. Scott drove to work. He was still in bed!!!! We have left my car at work and crawled home through floods, mud, gridlock. Living hell. House is a mess but Alex has cleaned up breakages.... Livable. Pot on stove boiling. No power water toilets... Looking for candles!!!
Can't phone my parents. Worry, stress, fear. People are dead or trapped. Kids all ok. Thankful for being here, home, safe. Hope others are ok too Sent from my iPhone
