After thousands of aftershocks in the past months, a 6.3 earthquake hit Christchurch again with reports of multiple deaths and injuries. Buildings down on buses and cars, and in the middle of a working day, multy story buildings full of people have collapsed. This was at 12-50 pm NZ time Tuesday.

Our son, who is a civil engineer, is in the area at the moment helping with evaluating damage from the previous quake back in September 2010.

He phoned to say he is OK thank God. The country is stunned.

Hope Zed friends in Christchurch are OK.

The city is a mess. This has claimed many many lives.

All my family that I have contacted are OK. Thank goodness. Amanda and the kids are safe but emotionally shot.

Aftershocks all the time again.

Far far worse than the 7.1 last year.

Our lives are once again in limbo.

I just saw on the BBC news that New Zealand's prime minister John Key has said "....we may be witnessing New Zealand's darkest day."

Hard to know what to say in the wake of such devastation and loss. Be strong. Thoughts are with you.

Yopu and I are praying for our Kiwi Z brothers and sisters... Sound off so we know you are alright and let us know if there is anything we can do.

We've been getting updates on our local station here in Mendocino County California.

I wish you the best and will keep you and your family in our prayers.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you cope with this tragedy. It is sobering to realize just how helpless we are in the face of the natural forces at work on our planet.
