I just heard there was a huge earthquake in New Zealand today. You guys okay? Haven't had a chance to watch the news to see how bad the damage is. Hope everyone is well.

Julie,
Bentley will be OK. The 'quake was near Christchurch on the south island. Bentley in on the north island in Hamilton. Big quake.....magnitude 7.0 was reported...big enough to get every-ones attention rapidly.
