That would be 0, with only 2 serious injuries. They got very lucky.

Thank you . Though so far there have been no deaths only a couple of very serious injuries. My son has a flat in the center of Christchurch and he is surrounded by damaged buildings with no power and water It is a huge disaster for Chch. but the damage is basically financial The constant news here is interspersed with worse news of a plane crash killing 9 - 5 kiwis and 4 tourists. Condolences to their families.
