Letter to the South Island

Dear Waiau, Kaikoura and South Island...

Sorry about the horrible tragedy you are going through. A 7.5 earthquake, in all honesty I wouldn’t handle a little shake. Sorry about your family members that have passed on from this world, I hope you can handle the sorrow and pain within your heart.

I’ve watched the news and it looks like you guys down there are fighting hard and surviving, I am proud of you people...Seeing all of the damages to the roads, railways, mountains, Buildings and reserves make me very anxious. Is the earthquake aftershocks coming to Auckland.

I felt some of the aftershock, the mirrors, plants and cups started to shake, and the weird thing was it started at 12.00 to 12.05.

Thanks for reading and stay strong...
