My Sister is in Christchurch.

She just got back from Antarctica.

Got an e-mail that said she is okay. I guess she was out by the airport and the quake was more near the city center.

Scary stuff.

It is very bad.
Australia has send about 150 emergency services personnel over to help search, plus sniffer dogs that can detect a live persons breath.

Death count now is 75 with still over 300 missing.
This from a city of about 300,000 people.

Our prayers and thoughts go out to the missing and their families.

Has been over 30 aftershocks Tho some of the aftershocks are near enough size to the main quake.

Luckily she had her passport and a few other things on her person.

I was in Christchurch about 10years ago and it is a very nice place with extremely nice people. I wish everyone a safe recovery from all that mess.
