Earthquake

So there was another earthquake today in New Zealand (another, as in another big one since the last one several months ago).  This short post is just to let everyone know that i am ok and that everyone here in Dunedin is just fine.  The quake center was located in Christchurch, about 6 hours north of Dunedin, though tremors were felt as far north as Wellington and as far south as Dunedin, so some people here did feel some shakes.  I was walking around town when they occurred, so i didn't feel anything, but other people (who were for example laying down) did feel them.  This earthquake was ranked 6.3 which is lesser than the last big one (7.0) but has caused much more damage.  There are confirmed fatalities but not sure yet how many.  We are just very fortunate down here; please be praying for the people of the Christchurch area.
