I have a friend that lives in a suburb of Christchurch, Hornby, and he says that the damage around him is minimal, but that Christchurch looks like a bomb went off. Lots of collapsed buildings and trapped people. He also said that it is constantly shaking. My heart goes out to those folks. I don't know where they dredge up the fortitude. I guess that when the times are tough the tough get going, as the old saying goes.
