Earthquake in Christchurch

I guess you guys has already known the horrible earthquake happened in Christ church in Newzealand.　
As a matter of course, here, in Newszealand, It is repoted daily on how badly it was. I think the city had a lot of serious damages more than we imagine.

Anyway, I'm fine. we didn't get involved in it fortunately because the natural disaster happened in South island, but I live in north.
However, as you know, Newzealand is not that large county, so we can't assume that it never happens in North island. Everything can happen anywhere because we never predict about any natural disaster. I need to stay alert especially now.
And you know how many Japanese people got involved in the earthquake? According to the news on TV here, at least more than 20 Japanese students are still missing and some students are buried alive under the building. They has been provided a critical treatment to survive and The search parties on the sopt has redoubled their efforts to find the missing people.
I hope everything is going the right way and the goverment will rescue as many people as possible within next few days.

Anyway, I'm sorry to worry about you. I'm alright.







みなさんも知ってると思いますが、ＮＺで数日前大きな地震がありました。

　連日、たくさんの知人・友人から安否の連絡をもらい、心配をおかけしているので先に話しますが、自分には被害は全くありません。地震の起こった地域とは離れているので、幸いにもなんの不自由もなかったです。
　ただ、ＮＺ自体は日本の国土より狭いため、予断は許されないかもしれません。

　地震が起こったのはクライストチャーチというＮＺ最大規模の観光地であり、在日邦人もたくさんいます。
　邦人学生が多数巻き込まれたほか、現地は２か月ほど前にも同規模の地震が同じ場所で起こっているため、被害は深刻のようで連日テレビでも騒がれています。

　日本も復旧活動の援助を開始したという報道もありましたし、いち早く復興作業が進み、被害者が最小限に食い止められるよう願うばかりです。

　とにかく、自分は無事です。

　ご心配おかけしました。
