carnival73: I was watching coverage of it on the news right now. This is a really stupid thing to happen to so many people all at once.

Sixty-Five got killed but there are hundreds stuffing the streets right now because their houses fell down or about to fall down.

I think it's about time they all started migrating lower down the South Island and rebuilding the trading areas down there.

Christchurch has just became too much of a danger zone.
