I have some close friends holidaying there but they have sent a text saying they are OK and were miles away from the epicenter.
New Zealand and Australia have very strong bonds of kinship and friendship and this has hit most Aussies like it happend to one of our states.
So far there are 65 dead but that will rise as they check the rubble and collapsed buildings.
I can't imagine how they feel when they see the steeple of their main church in ruins.
To me that is the most shocking image.

Re: New Zealand earthquake
Can't imagine being trapped somewhere and not being to do anything, just hope that help gets there soon.
