Earthquake in Christchurch

 News is still just reaching the Western hemisphere concerning the devastating 6.3-magnitude earthquake that struck the city of Christchurch, New Zealand early this morning. Though this event follows on the heels of September's larger, 7.1-magnitude event, this earthquake has been far more damaging. The death toll is already at 65 and is likely to rise as they uncover more of the deceased. Unreal images of destruction and suffering have already saturated the news.


You can donate to the victims through the Red Cross's New Zealand chapter.
