2011-02-22 Earthquake in Christchurch


We were wandering around Christchurch a month ago. The locals were showing us where the earthquake damage hit them in September 2010 bragging that no one had died in the quake (except for a poor fellow who had a heart attack). The earthquake on Tuesday was an aftershock and killed over 100 folks. We watched a street fair in front of the cathedral in the central square, and we were sorry that we didn't walk up the stairs to the top of the spire which is now in ruins.
