NZ Earthquake

[ThreeofUs]

Please send good thoughts down the NZ way. We have folks traveling down there and have no idea if they were caught in Christchurch.

The earthquake looks like it was centered right near town and hit at 12.51 p.m. local time.

P&PT to everyone there.

Praying for everyone's safety.

Sending lots of P&PT to everyone. My friends live in Wellington, but have family in Christchurch - and they're all ok, thank goodness. This is what my friend has on her FB page:

Vodafone and Telecom are asking the country not to make calls unless urgent. Lets keep the lines free for Christchurch. Copy and paste this message to spread the word

Continued prayers for New Zealanders.

My heart goes out to everyone affected by the quake. I had relatives who flew there for their dream vacation they had been planning for years, arriving 4 hours before the quake and having to turn right back around and leave. I hope there are no major after shocks and that they can rescue everyone stranded or trapped.
