More large earthquakes

At 1.58pm there was another 5.8 earthquake 20km northeast of Lyttleton; once again it was shallow and intense.   A few minutes ago there was another one that felt even stronger than the earlier one.   We're ok, I know Mum and Dad and my brother were ok after the first one but the phone networks are overloaded.
Really hope the water is ok this time, they've only just removed the chlorination from the February disaster.
Wish us luck; we're all hoping that 2012 is better for New Zealand what with earthquakes, floods and mine explosions it's not been a good year in 2011
