Christchurch Mayor Bob Parker says it is a serious situation and he is considering declaring a local state of emergency.
Today, residents were once again thrown into a panic as an aftershock struck at 1pm. Residents ran from indoors and out onto the street.
Jenny Beacroft, who was home when the quake struck, describes the experience as “bloody frightening”.
At least 10 people were taken to Christchurch Hospital with injuries, due to falling building material.

I can’t help but wonder if Richard Armitage is still in New Zealand or has indeed gone on hiatus from ‘The Hobbit’ and was in Brighton as some on Twitter suggested. Whatever the case, I hope he and the Kiwi people (despite some injuries) will be well, and even if you didn’t participate in the Rise up Christchurch telethon, it’s never too late to help out.
