As of today, Tuesday at 3:45 pm east coast time, now 35, not 65 confirmed deaths. Thirty five is sad, but better news than 65. But at least 100 still trapped. People buried in the rubble are texting and calling out.....lots of hope.....
Read an update in the Star Ledger and the Wall Street Journal this morning. Sadly, there are 75 confirmed lost, around 300 missing, and about 100 still trapped (hopefully not for long). Communications to the area were reported to be lost, but that maight have changed by now. Almost impossible to predict earthquakes, the only thing we can do is prepare for the aftermath as best we can.
Here is a video of a couple who got married one day after the bride spent 6 hours trapped in rubble inChristchurch. Unfortunately there is a short commerical before the news report.
That is certainly Kiwi tenacity in adversity.
