#1 My cousin and her family live around Christchurch. I assume they're all okay but still haven't heard anything back yet. My prayers go out to all Kiwis affected by this quake.

#2 Here is a slideshow of some of the quake damage in Christchurch. Most seems to be parts of older buildings and facades. Not tremendously devastating compared to serious quakes in 3rd world countries.

Also note that they ran out of pictures for the slideshow, so the last few are from an earthquake in Algiers.

#3 Friend of a friend there said No biggie, woke up and the bed was moving, (Rocking and Rolling were his exact words) that's all.

Must live a good way from the epicenter.
