New Zealand Earthquake

A series of powerful earthquakes jolted New Zealand's South Island Monday, triggering a tsunami and sending aftershocks across the country that left at least two dead, officials said.

The first event, a 7.8-magnitude quake, struck just after midnight Monday near the coastal community of Kaikoura, some 93 kilometers (55 miles) northeast of the city of Christchurch, the US Geological Survey reported.

Hoping everyone is safe. Members have been checking in in the Disaster in My Region Thread.

My dad is currently in New Zealand but fortunely he wasn't heavily affected. Last time I talked with him he said he still felt rumbles under the ground.

I checked in with the couple of friends I have in NZ this morning - everyone I know is okay but there are people who aren't, and there were still aftershocks being felt earlier today.

OK, this made me happy.
