Christchurch Earthquake

Just a quick update to let everyone know that we are all OK after the 7.2 Earthquake that hit Christchurch this morning. The Plimmerton siren did go off in the night - it may have been as a result of the quake but we felt nothing here in Papakowhai.

This is the quake drum for Christchurch showing the primary quake and then the multiple aftershocks some of which were bigger that 5.0 themselves.

Our thoughts are with the residents of Christchurch and the local Canterbury area as a State of Emergency is declared. We will be following the news closely today.
