Hey cheers Ron - I only know one cc'er down there in Christchurch and that's Jason Hobbs who has come out ok but really had enough (they've been suffering regular after shocks since the big quake last September). There are reports of multi storey buildings pancaking (very shallow quake), and the casualties so far are up towards 100, lots more missing. NOT what we're used to seeing here in Godzone...
I'm not religious but my thoughts are with them. Any prayers would be appreciated I'm sure.
