Rattling shaking glass shattering - this is what the people of Christchurch experienced.
On February the 22nd an earthquake with the magnitude of 6.3 hit Christchurch city. This is the second major earthquake this city has experienced in less than two years. Although the numbers were smaller on the righter scale they say this time it was worse for the last time it happened at 4:30am and most people would have been at home were as this time it happened at 12:51pm and most people would have been out eating lunch.
Many people have lost there lives. The death toll lies at 163 but is expected to rise as there are still many missing. Many buildings have tumbled to the ground including Christchurch's most famous artifact the cathedral. This disaster has brought great devastation to New Zealand.
I pray for Christchurch and I know if we all work together we can get through this. I now ask if you have a little money to spear give Red Cross a call and donate to the Christchurch earthquake appeal.
Thank you for your generosity. If you are having a bad day at work stop and think about what sort of day the people of Christchurch city are having.
Thank you for reading my article and remember spend everyday as your last because you never know when it is going to end.
