I saw the news too and immediately thought of both Kellye and Sam. The news story I saw had the byline of Wellington, with the first sentence saying the 6.3 magnitude earthquake was centered in Christchurch. Definitely put my stomach in knots of worry for them!

I know it took a while with the last quake for Kellye to be able to get online. In the meantime, I'm sending all the I can muster for safety, peace and calming for those we know and love, and everyone in that region.

It looks to be really bad there this time. Civil defense says the phone lines are down and they're asking people to limit cell phone usuage as the networks are overloaded. I imagine that internet service would be affected too, so I wouldn't expect Kellye to be able to get in touch right now.
Prayers to everyone in Christchurch. I hope Kellye and her family are OK and we hear from her soon.
I haven't been able to phone my family there, guess I'll just keep trying. Not much you can do in this situation, just hope and pray, which is just so frustrating.

This is why I'm here too, to see about Kellye. The footage on TV is horrifying. Oh, I hope she's okay.

Apparently they have no power, so she won't be able to access the internet, and she's probably saving her phone for emergencies. Hopefully we'll hear something soon though.

Sam, I was so glad to see you posted!

I'm glad Kellye is physically OK, too, even if she does have property damage.

for everybody.

I haven't even heard of a earthquake. I have a college co-worker who is studying this semester in New South Wales so I just posted on FB for any details.

I hope everyone effected is safe.
