My heart goes out to the victims and their families in the devastated town of Christchurch NZ. Just seen some of the pictures of the damage incurred, literally horrifying.
A Friends sister had a very narrow escape, but has managed to get out of the city now. Another friend, who had worked with us for a while also escaped.
Although the quake was not as severe, it was closer to the city, and the surface so caused more damage.
The problem is, this could keep happening now, as there seems to be a new fault line.
