Another update:
Please keep the people of the South Island of NZ in your thoughts and prayers today.
The quake hit at 4.30am there is widespread damage to building particularly in Downtown Christchurch. A state of emergency has been declared.
But the tragedy of the day is a report just in that 9 people have been killed in a plane crash just on the west coast of the South Island at Fox Glacier, a popular tourist centre, almost straight across the Island from CHCH.
