Christchurch earthquake - 22 Feb - View on the street

Filmed in Dallington, one of the moderately hit areas of the city. My house was right on the corner where the sewage/water pipes broke so we had a lot of issues on out property. All my family is fine and my heart goes out to everyone in chch who is struggling or has lost a loved one. Three days on there's no power and water where I live, and it's not likely to get back on for weeks, due to damage to the infrastructure. Please, if you want to help donate to the red cross in NZ.

Your video is better than most of those on National TV .You told it like it is without all the emotional hype. Well done

I lived in Dallington during both earthquakes and I think it was one of the most severely hit areas.

whoa! I was on the other side of the palms on marshland road, fairly similar, though with some big holes swallowing up cars and trucks.

You are very eloquent given the circumstances :)

thanks so much for doing this video. I am a kiwi living in the states and it's so hard to see what it's really like from the photos and videos on stuff etc..

But this is my neighbourhood- I grew up on New Brighton Road, so it put it all into perspective. It's so bad right now, but I know kiwis will push through. Thanks again!
