It is a scary thought that a city I was in exactly one year ago was just hit about four hours ago by a very big earthquake.
The news report I read:
www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2011/02/21/AR2011022104255.html mentions buildings that I not only saw but was in, such as the cathedral.
How absolutely awful for Christchurch, that gorgeous city full of culture and arts and history and verve. How devastating. My thoughts are with the people of New Zealand and particularly for the residents of Christchurch.
