    Just seen it on the news, its terrible, thoughts and prayers are with you. Buildings can be replaced people can't. God bless you out there. We in UK grumble about the weather and accasionally we have localised floods but we are very lucky compared to others in the world(look at queensland and the fires round perth in Oz), so all the best and will be looking to contribute to any relief fund.

    Terrible news although I did have a bit of a double take when I heard a local reported say that "everyone was severely shaken". Would have been funny if it wasn't about such a tragic story.

    What can you say? of course our thoughts are with them, but it's not going to
    do them any good. Latest news here is 65 dead and 200 trapped and rising.

    They ARE lucky I spose to be in a civilised part of the world where there are
    good emergency services there to help them, but I doubt knowing that is of
    much comfort, if you are trapped under a ton of rubble and no one knows you
    are there.

    It's weird how that part of the world has suffered so much recently, they must
    really be wondering, if there is anything else left, that can go wrong.

    Lets hope not.

    Live updated coverage at:http://au.news.yahoo.com/video/national/watch/23188303/23188288/As of today, Tuesday at 3:45 pm east coast time, now 35, not 65 confirmed deaths.   Thirty five is sad, but better news than 65.  But at least 100 still trapped.   People buried in the rubble are texting and calling out.....lots of hope.....

    Just saw the news on this, this morning.
    My prayers as well. It seems the Pacific "ring of fire" has it's share of problems.

    Read an update in the Star Ledger and the Wall Street Journal this morning.  Sadly, there are 75 confirmed lost, around 300 missing, and about 100 still trapped (hopefully not for long).  Communications to the area were reported to be lost, but that maight have changed by now.  Almost impossible to predict earthquakes, the only thing we can do is prepare for the aftermath as best we can.

    Here is a video of a couple who got married one day after the bride spent 6 hours trapped in rubble in Christchurch. Unfortunately there is a short commerical before the news report. That is certainly Kiwi tenacity in adversity.http://www.canada.com/videos/index.html#/Quake-survivor-keeps-wedding-date/ydMORrWqI0SiMwWwVn_AS_UBUor8RzPa
