Thanks for letting us know, Carole.

Those people are troupers, they will survive this. At the same time, it must be awful this close to Christmas, this close to the last one . . . .

[Lilith Cherry]

I will put them in my prayers Carole.

I heard this on the news tonight and couldn't believe it - oh, no those poor people, not AGAIN!

There was one injury reported, but no real physical damage. Still, the ongoing damage to the psyches and the nerves of the good people of Christchurch...

Prayers that this is the last one for a very, very long time.

Yes it must be just awful for them, two more have hit, the second one was even bigger 6.0,the damage is pretty bad again, but nothing like last time yet, i really fear for these people, please pray hard, thanks.

Oh, how awful, I am so sorry. Sending many prayers and good wishes for the people of Christchurch.

If any of you want to post on facebook your prayers for them, that would be awesome as apparently everyone is keeping in contact that way,thank you.

Oh sis. All Pittsburgh thoughts and prayers are going out to the people of Christchurch after this devastating earthquake. The timing couldn't have been more terrible, but I believe God is looking down and giving them hope this Christmas season.

Carole ~ I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope that their Christmas will be quieter.

Here's a link to a map of earthquakes in New Zealand in the past week:

We just had a 3.9 this morning. It was strong enough to feel, but just barely. Nothing like what NZ has been experiencing. I just hope it's not the calm before the storm.

Here's a link to a map of earthquakes in Alaska in the past week: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquak...ial/Alaska.php

Lisa i think any earthquake is scarey, i had no idea Alaska was prone, please stay safe, yes this is very bad news here,it is not looking good, and with everyone being out doing their xmas shopping, lucky more people were not hurt, last time so many died, i just feel really scared for them all, prayers and thoughts are much appreciated right now.

[Randi]

How scary it must be. My thoughts and good wishes to everyone there.

This was just covered on the local TV newscast. All these repeating quakes. I am so sorry for you all.

Praying for everyone there, may these quakes soon be done with.
