Earthquake with magnitude 7.0 has struck Christchurch today with no fatalities reported. This was considered as very fortunate by the locals. However, the damage caused by the unprecedented quake was substantial. The people were terrified during the incident. A state of natural disaster was declared by Civil Aviation Centre. The victims described the incident vividly whereby the boulders which size were bigger than cars tumbling down the hillsides. Moreover, principal of a school near the epicentre felt the quake as a train slammed into his house. Besides that, the old buildings in the scene were worst affected. New Zealand Prime Minister John Key has promised a distribution of fund worth $NZ2 billion to alleviate the situation and cover all the costs involved. Christchurch is currently under curfew.
p/s: After typing all of these, I just realised that this is not an Australian news but a New Zealand's.
