Tsunami not a concern to Chch. Maybe ten centimetres of water? The main force wasn't aimed at the South Pacific so NZ (primarily top half of North Island) and Pacific Islands got off blessedly lightly.

A couple people in Japan I haven't heard from yet [eta: safe], also some in other countries around the Pacific. But since they are still releasing names of Christchurch dead it doesn't feel much different.

I do not need anything right now; there are millions of people far harder hit than me.
