2nd earthquake has hit Christchurch, N.Z
Purrs and prayers for everyone affected by this disaster.
I visited Christchurch years ago. Lovely place, nice people. It's tragic to hear about the loss of life and the damage anywhere, but even moreso having been there. I hope they find more people alive in the buildings that have fallen, and that no more aftershocks occur.

There are fatalities, two buses squashed, people trapped in buildings, and the lovely cathedral which was miraculously undamaged in the first quake is now down. Aftershocks are continuing and a level 3 emergency declared. Those people have been through so much already and I am so sorry for them. Bev |

Bev Purr motors revved up to full capacity, and human prayers as well! You folks "down under" have certainly had more than your share of catastrophes, the past few months. (I know New Zealand and Australia are two separate areas, but they're both in the same general geographical location.) |

The folks over the ditch on the West Island are thinking of you. The photos and footage look bloody aweful, and the current deathtoll is at 65. Purrs and hugs to you all. Yowie (wondering why Mother Nature is picking on Australasia at the moment) It even made the news, with pictures, in the USA. Purrs and prayers for everyone affected. Joy Uhhh.... "even"? I agree that our news sources in the USA are somewhat remiss where world affairs are concerned, but things of THAT magnitude are seldom ignored! |

I think the reaction in our news was quicker, and more extensive, than that to the recent floods and cyclone in Australia. I don't recall seeing any pictures of those on the news here. Joy |

I saw a recording of some of it, it's terrible. Judith -- Judith Latham Stourbridge, West Midlands. UK. Rescue crews have been working all night to free trapped people. Gratitude to the Aussies who have sent two rescue teams, complete with dogs, to help. At least a hundred people are still trapped and crying out for help. Morgues are being set up as the dead are still being pulled out of crushed cars and buildings. Six storey buildings are reduced to rubble and some have to be taken apart brick by brick to get at the people. Offers to help have come from everywhere, the US are sending help as is Japan and the UK Onlookers say the central business district looks as if it has been bombed like the blitz in the war. Bev |
