Terrible News from NZ

[WaWa]

Another earthquake has hit Christchurch today at around midday and the central city is a disaster zone. 65 deaths so far and still more being pulled from the rubble. I cannot contact my friend and her family. There has been many after shocks since the september earthquake, none as high in magnitude, but this one (technically an aftershock) was the biggy as many already damaged buildings fell to the ground. emergency services are stretched and fires have broken out.
A sad day

Any word from any of our other brothers and sisters down there? I recall someone here lived in Christchurch, I thought.

Thanks everyone. Many still missing and the death toll is rising as more are found.
I don't recall anyone on this site that came from there but most NZ'ers know someone down threre as we are a small country.
