My sister and brother-in-law live not far from Christchurch: fortunately they are unharmed and their house appears relatively undamaged, unlike a number of other properties in and around the city. There has been fairly extensive infrastructure damage - burst watermains and sewage pipes, damaged bridges, and a lot of older buildings extensively damaged. A state of emergency is in force. So far no casualties but that may change as the Search and Rescue teams go in.
