I am a witness to the Earth's changing body. I was in the Christchurch earthquakes as well as thousands of after shocks. It's the most terrifying thing to go through because you never know how big the shock would be. Hundreds died because of poor engineering of a television building.

I live in Auckland and we have a risk of volcano's waking up but the likelyhood seems low. However with the moving plates and living magma could build up in pressure and cause a big disturbance.

I seriously pray for the people and their families.
