    I was thinking about ya man when I first heard the news. Sorry to hear about this. It's a huge setback for the entire country. How far outside of the city are you if you don't mind me asking?

    When it hit I was right in the centre of the city and my house is about 5-10km from the epicentre of the quake.
    The roads are all a mess, the centreal city got hit the hardest due to the high rise buildings.

    At this stage I have been going and helping others who are much worse of than I am.
