Christchurch Earthquake

I think everyone across New Zealand is just as shocked about the Christchurch Earthquke as I am, and it’s good to see some of the one day sale sites offering support to the cause. GrabOne Christchurch today have a $5 donation to the Christchurch City Mission, and 1-dayout and SocialBuy have a $5 donation to the Red Cross. Get in there and support these great causes, we have, and encourage you to as well as every dollar counts.

As of 8.30am on the 9th September, there has been a total of 363 aftershocks in the region, ten of which have been greater than mag 5. I have plotted these onto a graph as visually it reveals quite a disturbing picture

Lets hope that the shaking stops soon, the devastation being caused is significant, and great deal of Christchurch’s history is being destroyed.
