I've heard my friends are ok. No power, phone, water, sewage, nada. They sleept last night in there car.
Police backup has been helicoptered in so my friend has been able to get some rest.
Roads in all directions blocked by landslides.
Power is now back on this morning in the area. Not sure about for them though.

V is very very scared. And she's as tough as nails that lass. Being local she has no chance of evacuation.
They are hoping to helicopter about 200 people out today.
Navy are enroute and likely to get there tomorrow as it looks like by water is the only logical evacuation route out at the moment. There's about 1000 tourists in town at the moment

Very frightening :( although I knew Weka is on the north island. We have friends in Timaru on the south island and I managed to get him on Messenger early this morning. He said they are a three hour drive from the epicentre, but are on tsunami watch.
