Fencing Central

A 7.1 magnitude earthquake struck Christchurch City in the early hours of Saturday morning and 24 hours later after shocks continue to be felt.

The Foil Training Camp had to be canceled as a result of the city wide loss and damage to power, water, sewerage and phone systems. The damage to buildings, roads, bridges, railways and infrastructure caused major disruptions. Transport and infrastructure systems are recovering and the airport reopened mid afternoon, but some roads remain closed.

With no reported major injuries everyone is reported generally well.

Given the power and duration of the earthquake it is a relief that no deaths have been reported and the scale of damage is relatively light. A credit to our building codes.

Fencing and training continues and we live on.
