[Taxacom] Christchurch Earthquake

[Eric.Zurcher at csiro.au]

I haven't heard directly yet, but the news services here are reporting "multiple fatalities". It probably will be a while before details emerge, as most of Christchurch is without power, and emergency phone lines are "severely impaired".
