As some of you might have heard you might have heard of the Earthquakes that have hit Christchurch.
Just to let you know that I am safe, I am in Wellington so no injuries here.
However Christchurch earthquakes have been really bad to the city.
To date there are 100 or so casualties including some two young 6-7 month babies.
The city buildings are very badly damaged. Christchurch is experiencing aftershocks.
I have three videos that you may watch if you are wanting to find out whats going on (combined an hour in total of footage):
YouTube - Christchurch Earthquake Special: 60 Minutes NZ - How it Unfolded - Part 1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BynOX9fj07o)
YouTube - Christchurch Earthquake 2011 - widespread damage, multiple victims and many unaccounted for (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7MQ7zhYt3E)
YouTube - Christchurch Earthquake Special: 60 Minutes NZ - The Saddest Story - Part 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJ9_cx3uzSI)
Our international friends from USA/Australia/Japan have brought along search and rescue teams and helped out tremendously.
I just thought you might like to know whats going on in more detail just in case you saw on the news there.

I have been following along and am very happy you are safe. I hope the same for your family and friends, and send my thoughts to the people of Christchurch. Best Wishes.
