Major Earthquake hits New Zealand!

[southernGuild]

Multiple fatalities, serious injuries, people trapped after a 6.3 magnitude Earthquake hits Christchurch New Zealand. This is VERY near the homes of Coastie, and Ian.
This News is 'Just in', and we are getting live TV scenes of horrendous devastation and damages.
Are you guys ok? You're in our prayers.

:shock: Gary is across on the other side of the Island and Ian is further north of Gary. Hopefully everyone is OK. Maybe we should move this thread into the LTG'rs only section?

Guys, you never fail to astound ! Bless all of you for your best wishes.

Neither Ian nor I are near Christchurch ( about 200 miles away ), but the 'quake was felt here.

Closer to Christchurch and more shallow than the last one that caused such devastation, but no loss of life, back in September. This time, there is loss of life, but no numbers given yet. And the city's a bomb sight !

Lynda has family in Christchurch, but thankfully all is well with them.

Christchurch is home to some of N.Z.'s most striking, old architecture.

Probably Christchurch's greatest icon, reportedly destroyed ................. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ChristChur ... ristchurch
