Another Earthquake in Christchurch

Hey guys!
How are you?
You might've already heard it, today at about 1pm there was another 6.3 earthquake in Christchurch. 5km deep, 10km away from the centre - it made way more damage than the last earthquake.
There already was an earthquake on the 4th of September 2010 with 7.6 I think, so Christchurch just recovered.
Since I got a lot of questions about whether I'm alright last time - yes, we are in Hamilton so we are alright. Hamilton is on the North Island, Christchurch is on the South Island.
At the moment we are watching the continous live news on TV. The rescue-work has started very fast and a team of more than 200 urban search- and rescue-people are working through the city to get trapped people out of the houses. The police confirmed 65 dead people (it's about 10 at night atm ) but expects it to rise. More than 100 people are thought to be trapped, under them are 23 Japanese students in one building.
I hope Christchurch will be alright and hold my fingers crossed for them!
Yours,
from Hamilton,
Timon.
