Christchurch New Zealand

There has been a bad Earthquake in Christchurch New Zealand with reports of fatalities. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150099324847752&set=a.125583977751.103665.119452527751&theater Telecom New Zealand reports "Heavy damage" to their Christchurch building, but no deaths there. Is there any report of issues with the undersea cables to / from the South Island ? Regards Marshall P.S. On a more personal note, Google has a people finder up @ http://christchurch-2011.person-finder.appspot.com/ There is a DFAT # - 1300 555 135 - for people outside of NZ to call. Telecom New Zealand has asked people to stay off of the wireless network except for true emergencies.
