The madness continues as we wake up this morning. They think there is still over 100 people trapped. Some are even texting from the rubble. People have been pulled out all through the night. Rescue treams are being sent from Aussie, the States and some other countries too. Luckily were are a well set up country so everything that can be done is being done. Now I have a crazy busy day of work to get through. I work at a TV network so breaking news turns my day upside down but thoughts are still with CHCH of course - JR
