I am glad all the orgers and their families seem to be okay.

This has been truly horrifying to watch and hear about...

...I can't imagine what it is like to endure

Yes

The toll now is 123, and its expected to at least double, this will surpass the toll of the 1931 Napier earthquake our worst ever, in which 256 died it was magnitude 7.5. Rebuilding will cost at least $16 billion New Zealand dollars (12 -12.5 Billion USD). The worst loss besides all the people and the living victims who have to put up with a patchy infrastructure, no money or clean water, is Christchurch's unique late 19th and early 20th century architecture. Most of our Gothic revival buildings are destroyed and this includes the 1864 -1904 Cathedral, the Romanesque Catholic Cathedral (My home church, my parents, grandparents and great grandparents got married there) The worst casualty is the 1865 debating chamber a gothic masterpiece built in 1865 that was when Chch was only 15 years old. The 1864 Methodist church (The oldest surviving stone building is gone). It will be very hard to replace this heritage.

I think of all of you daily, and say a prayer...

Wow. Proof we're not always guaranteed tomorrow.

My heart goes out to y'all in New Zealand.

Present and accounted for, been busy with fundraising, I am busy today with a bake sale at work, we have sent some of our Store Managers to Christchurch to give their management a break to deal wih their own families. I am also involved with the SPCA, there a lot of displaced pets that are traumatised and need foster homes while owners are tracked down. Many Christchurch residents have left the area and left their pets behind.

The death toll is 160 today, expected to be around 240. The Cathedral search is still on today. Massive dust storm yesterday hindered progress and more aftershocks through the night.
