Maaike and I are ok. House is probably toast. 65 heading towards 200 dead.
My housemates and us are all fine with enough food and water.
Power has just come on.. but really don’t think we will be staying here.
Off to tasmania on sat if flights allow. Will be good to escape!
Love to all.. say a prayer if you have a higher powers’ ear!

So many asking after you. Try the Higher Power yourself, useful backup, “always on”. Hope your tent is not blocked in. I hated the the 0.1s we got in FP sofeel for you both big time. Much love Dad

We are thinking of you all, Patrick, just terrible. Glad you are alright but feeling very sad for those who aren’t, and deeply shocked. It will be good for you to get away. Talk to you soon, love Hannah

I hope He has time for you guys. First thing I read this morning was about the umpth time a earthquake hit NZ. Luckily Maaike’s text arrived minutes later. Hope you guys have a great time in Tas. Let me know if I can do something.
Like start a “save Maaike and Patrick” fund.
