February 22nd Earthquake, Christchurch NZ

So terrible. I am thankful that you & hopefully none of your loved ones were harmed.

Some call me an eternal optimist... therefore I feel compelled to say that there may be more survivors found! I am sure the search will continue on, there have been amazing reports of survival three or more days after catastrophes like this.

Thanks everyone for your kind words.

Here are the stats from today:

Missing: 226
Fatalities: 98

Most of the missing are presumed dead.

EDIT: It has been announced that 98 people have actually died.

My thoughts and prayers are for all Kiwis, especially those in and around Christchurch. I hope more survivors are found and that the inevitable aftershocks are minimal.

Much progress is going on around Christchurch and peoples homes are being demolished and checked.
