Hi,
This has got nothing to do with computers. My apologies if this is too off-topic but I'm posting this as I do have a number of friends on this forum and you might hear something on the news and wonder if I've been affected by this event.
This morning we had a magnitude 7.4 earthquake near Christchurch in the South Island. Some buildings came down, cracks appeared in roads, bridges collapsed and there is substantial damage to infrastructure. There have been some people injured from falling debris but no deaths that I know of.
I live in the North Island. No damage at all here...in fact I didn't even feel it. No family or friends live in Christchurch but my mother lives about 1 hour south of the city. She is ok and so is her home.
Given our low-density housing and largely wooden structures we seem to have come through this one largely unscathed except for a costly clean-up.
