Earthquake in New Zealand: Pictures From a "War Zone"

Earthquake in New Zealand: Pictures From a "War Zone"

This is a great site I found online showing the massive amounts of destruction after a 6.3 magnitude earthquake struck the island of New Zealand in the city of Christchurch. Many have been declared dead with many more still out there missing in the wreckage. Prayers go out to all those who have been affected by this natural disaster, as well to the families who are having to deal with this very upsetting tragedy. Earthquakes have been known to affect these parts of the country so this was by no means a complete shock.
Although this story isn't technically a weather phenomena, it seemed to be an interesting article having to do with natural disasters.  No matter what the event is, whether a storm system or an natural disaster by means of the planet, it is still important to keep people aware of the power of nature and how precious life really is.
