Christchurch hit by another earthquake

All,

Just a quick post to update you.  Christchurch, a visit during our recent trip, was hit again today by a 6.3 earthquake.  According to the pictures I have seen, much more damage has been sustained than during the earthquake in September of last year.  Last year's earthquake was centered in the Canterbury region.  Today's quake is much closer to Christchurch.

I have included a picture of the Cathedral in Cathedral Square that we took during our visit.  If you watch the attached videa, you can see the damage.  It is towards the end of the video.

Our prayers go out to those affected by the quake.  Current death toll is at 65 but expectations are that the actual numbers may be higher.




Best Regards,

Pat and Chris Glenn
