There's been a big earthquake in NZ
It's in the South Island, in Christchurch. It was 6.3 on the Richter Scale and hit at 1pm on Tuesday 22 February.
The damages are horrifying. Reading updates online gives me goosebumps.
Christchurch was still recovering from the 7.1 earthquake that hit it in September at 4am.
All my friends down there are safe and accounted for but some people were not as lucky.
Info here **warning** graphic descriptions
I live in Wanganui, in the North Island, 3 hours drive from Wellington. I know from friends that they felt the quake in Wellington. That's 300kms (189 miles) north of Christchurch, on a different island.
The Prime Minister declared a National State of Emergency.
*hugs everyone*
