Just saw on the news Christchurch was hit with a big 7.1 earthquake at 4.35 am today, bit of a shock, i would expect it in wellington, but not christchurch,so far no deaths ,just minor injuries and two serious ones and there is a few damaged buildings ,some have been flattened to rubble.,one was a restaurant, thank god it happened early hours of the morning, or it could have well been full with customers.

Still this is indeed a very scarey one, my sister's niece is down there for the weekend,she is from my city Hamilton, but has been asked to pitch in to help as she is a doctor.

please keep all these kiwis in your thoughts and prayers, and here's hoping there are not more down under.
