Yes, the silence since you posted that indicates that we are all in the same fog of ignorance. Darfield has had some coverage because of the road and the Deans family homestead, but that has been it.

1134472 2010-09-07 08:03:00 I wonder if anyone has set up some basic solar stills for collecting water and such. Isn't that what Ray Mears and Bear Grylls showed us all to do? bob_doe_nz (92)

1134474 2010-09-07 09:19:00 Heard we are expecting a 6.x within the next 36 or 48 hours.

I don't personally believe it. First there was going to be a 6 within the first 48 hours, there wasn't. Then they were expecting a bigger than 7 one within 36 hours - nope.

Good on them for being on high alert but we can't keep doing it forever.

I have a friend in the Civil Defense.

But your right, no further information is forthcoming.
