New Zealand Struck By Major Earthquake

I pray that all my Kiwi chat buddies are okay after an earthquake rated from 7.0 to 7.4 struck the south island of New Zealand a few hours ago.

The quake struck at 4:53 a.m. (1:53 p.m. Friday K.C. time) Saturday morning New Zealand time- and has "devastated" the city of Christchurch.

The NZ HERALD reports "2" serious injuries- but yet no fatalities- and a local tsunami warning was issued.
