[QUOTE="janie, post: 409044, member: 2982"] Thanks for your messages everyone. Yes Marguerite - it IS really unusual for this to happen in Christchurch. It doesn't normally have much noticeable seismic activity (pretty much everywhere in NZ has SOME seismic activity - just not major tremors that have happened over the past 5 months!) My Mother grew up in Christchurch - and they hardly ever had earthquakes back then. I grew up in Wellington - and earthquakes were something that happened on a fairly regular basis - not major like this one though. My Mother cannot believe what she is seeing on television - the destruction of her beautiful hometown :( The rescuers are doing an amazing job - so there is still some hope for more survivors. I have had to contact several new clients (for the Crisis work I do) down in Christchurch .... there are some very sad situations ..... :( It makes me grateful for my "easy" life. New Zealanders are VERY thankful for all the help that is coming in from around the world (especially all the incoming experienced Search and Rescue workers). Thanks everyone. [/QUOTE]
