Floods and earthquakes...tomorrow never knows.

I heard of this earthquake by blog before I heard it on the news. Our TV news from Christchurch have been very limited (focused on other world events). Through blogging friends however the situation has come rather "close" for me in spite of the distance, and my thoughts have been on NZ a lot.DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519638191408360845.post-69621556804943335162011-03-02T14:39:17.939+13:002011-03-02T14:39:17.939+13:00Thanks for sharing Judy.

Susan works in a privite hospital and says her hospital is full of victims that have been brought in from Christchuch. <br /><br />This will be one of those life events where each New Zealander will remember forever where he / she was when the earthquake hit. My forever remember events are the moment President Kennedy was shot and 9-11.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07496177806828343280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519638191408360845.post-6143338897145296722011-03-01T20:19:17.337+13:002011-03-01T20:19:17.337+13:00Thanks everyone.Thanks everyone.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12453125929159161583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519638191408360845.post-90466941096256948112011-03-01T20:10:19.654+13:002011-03-01T20:10:19.654+13:00Even at the other side of the world we felt the sh...Even at the other side of the world we felt the shock and after shock.
