all over again

On tuestay 22nd of February 2011 a magnitude 6.3 Earth Quake hit Christchurch.
It says that many are dead and many people are homeless.   Not all the dead have been identified.
The Quake has affected many businesses and homes.  There will now be alot more unemployment in Christchurch due to the damage in the CBD.
It is sad to think that one of the most historic buildings in Christchurch, the Cathedral, has been destroyed.  Christchurch has also lost many other heritage buildings.  Two of the worst tragedies are the collapse of the CTV building along with the Pine Gold Guiness building.
Places like the Red Cross and ASB are taking donations to help people and to help with the rebuild of Christchurch's Central Business District.  Contact energy were giving out free gas bottles for people who needed them.  Telecom and Vodafone have have helped by giving Christchurch people more talking minutes on cell phones.  Refuge centres were set up for people who had lost their homes or had no place to stay.
An the positive side of all of this is that many people have offered so much help and support; farmy army and students.  Also neighbourhoods have joined together for support.

This is a short news report
 Labour list MP Damien O'Connor has slammed insurance companies which he says are refusing to cover South Island businesses and people following Christchurch's massive quake.
However, the Insurance Council has strongly rejected that claim.
Mr O'Connor said he was concerned some insurance companies might be operating a blanket ban on South Island coverage since February 22's 6.3-magnitude quake, which destroyed parts of Christchurch and has so far claimed 166 lives .
"Refusal by insurance companies to cover new house owners in the South Island as a result of the
Christchurch earthquake is outrageous, and will seriously impact the area's economy," Mr O'Connor said.
