New Zealand Tragedy

9 posts in this topic

I know that we have some Kiwi brothers so I just think we should let them know that we're thinking of them in this dark time!

[quote]Rescue teams worked under floodlights in the early hours of Wednesday searching for scores of people trapped after an earthquake struck New Zealand's second biggest city, killing at least 65 people.

It was the second strong quake in five months to hit Christchurch, a city of almost 400,000 people. About 120 survivors had been pulled from the rubble but the death toll was expected to rise.[/quote]

Eathquakes have been hitting in unlikely areas recently(Arkansas 4.7) I live VERY close to the San Andreas fault line and so far (knocking on wood) it has been fairly quiet.
