Day 5

Update day 5: The death toll has gone up to 123 and 200+ are still missing. City CBD could be shut for 'months'. Sigh.. They said the city is to be rebuilt.

The rebuilding is going to take many years. I mean, it takes many many years to build a city. So to rebuild the entire city, it will take even longer because the building structure would have to be good.

So far, the events that are held in the city has to be cancelled eg there was supposed to be flower event but now, cancelled. For those who are going to miss it, can get Baltimore flower delivery lah.. hahahaha.. another choice to go for if cannot order flowers from the flower events.

Just check thepress.co.nz site for more news for more details. I got all these infos from the tv news anyway.

HAhahhah! I like how you promote the Baltimore flowers :P

On a more serious note, I am so so shocked that it was such a big thing! I thought gempa bumi but no one injured or dead. This is awful!

i was told my work building is structurally sound and up to earthquake shake standard so i wont worry being trapped in the work building. but u never know if u really are trapped in a building and cant get out.
