Seems a lot of damage in Christchurch, New Zealand from a 6.3 earthquake
Reuters is reporting as many as 200 people still trapped. 65 dead.
Dr Grumps..... we need to to check in with the forum and confirm that you didn't cause it and that you're ok.

At least 65 people have died after a powerful earthquake struck the southern New Zealand city of Christchurch, collapsing buildings, burying vehicles under debris and sending rescuers scrambling to help people trapped under rubble.
The 6.3-magnitude quake struck the country's second largest city on a busy weekday afternoon.
The mayor of Christchurch, Bob Parker, has declared a state of emergency and ordered people to evacuate the city centre.
"Make no mistake this is going to be a very black day for this shaken city," he said.
