Well, we are in Christchurch and its been a tough day. A big earthquake frightens the stuffing out of you.

The rescue people are focusing on rescuing people from buildings and cars today & they hope they will be able to move onto securing property tomorrow.

We are okay here, but the folk in the middle of the city took a hammering, and unlike our september 2010 earthquake, this time it hit during the day so we have buses flattened by falling buildings, and unfortunately, fatalities and serious casualties.

Everytime the ground shakes, you wonder if its going to be lights out for you.
