Today at 1.58pm a 5.8 magnitude earthquake struck Christchurch...followed some 20 minutes later by a magnitude 5.3 then an even worse, shallow one of 6 magnitude. The news reports are giving different timings on these, so I may have the times a bit wrong. The TV pictures are heart breaking to see..
It is so distressing for Christchurch folk who had hopes that the worst was over. Many were looking forward to some sort of normal Christmas!
Keep them in your thoughts.
