On the news today from NZ: 75 people confirmed dead, more than 300 people still missing, the death toll could go as high as 400, some of the buildings where there may be people buried have been declared too dangerous for searches to continue, 60% of Christchurch has had power restored, water will not be restored for some days yet, phone lines are still at a premium so text rather than ring, search and rescue teams from Australia, USA, Japan and Singapore are now in NZ, the state of emergency is still current in NZ.
We saw a story on the news today where a house left standing almost untouched by the earthquake was totally destroyed by two boulders rolling down the hillside and bursting straight through the house. The hole could be seen through the house from front to back the size of the boulders and a crater in the front yard where one of the boulders bounced.
Our prayers and thoughts are with NZ at this time.
