Sending out hugs to Christchurch-based Kiwis

[Pip]

Christchurch was hit with another earthquake today - 6.3 but very shallow and it has caused significant damage. It happened at lunchtime rather than at night, so there were lots of people in town. Already 65 have been confirmed dead. The Cathedral is extensively damaged and another building has completely collapsed. It's been very surreal watching it all unfold on television and over social media today. Here's hoping all you Chch TE'ers are safe and that your families are safe too.

My dear is sad as he did his undergrad/postgrad in Christchurch and holds a special place for the city. It's an awesome city & hopefully people will continue to visit.

I was watching TV3's coverage via the ABC & could feel the fear of the lady trapped on top of the PGC building then the relief of being rescued.

Thoughts are with those who've lost friends/colleagues in the quake.

My thoughts go out to those in Christchurch and the rest of NZ. The pictures from there are heartbreaking.

I saw that this morning on the news. So devastating.
Hoping everyone is safe and thoughts for those who were lost.
