I think a US senator was in the city at the time?

The death toll is rising by the hour, so many sad stories. Some people still alive stuck under rubble

Hi Andrew, glad to hear you're holding up. I have a lot of friends there and they got thru OK. Here in Napier, we just celebrated 80 years since our "big one". They'll rebuild it better, just like they did here.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all in Canterbury.

Mike

Thanks Mike, I think you are right, we will end up with our own Art Deco city now...

149 now confirmed dead, hundreds still missing.

www.redcross.org.nz if you want to donate to the city. Sorry to make this a commercial thread with that request, but many families are really struggling.
