Shock!

Just driving along in my car, humming to myself, when a bulletin cut across the radio program. Earthquake in Christchurch again! Not as big as the original one in September at 7.1, but a 6.3 but at only 5km depth! I really feel for those people! Not just an earthquake but over 4000 aftershocks since September and then this. Last time the quake was early in the morning , when no one was about in the business district, this time it was bang on lunch time . 65 deaths so far and it seems that sadly there will be many more. The army cancelled an exercise and the personnel were diverted to Christchurch including 70 medics and doctors. The Aussies have offered help and recovery teams are on the way, the US, and Japan have offered help too. Nice to see your friends in times like this.
