NZ earthquake

Have just rung Marion to see how they are. They have electricity but no internet connection and all is fine with them. They have had aftershocks almost hourly since the earthquake and some of them have been very big (.7 and .5) so they are in and out of the house quite a bit. She said it is a beautiful sunny day, for which they are thankful - imagining how much worse it would be for the people of Christchurch if it was cold and wet. Only 2 people badly injured but the sewerage and water supplies are damaged, along with quite a few roads and buildings of course. Small towns between them and Christchurch have also been affected. They are very used to earthquakes over there but this has been a shocker. Christchurch is a beautiful city - I hope they find down the track that not much of significant importance has disappeared.

Marion says she will get in touch as soon as she can.......

Hugs
