A Calgary man has taken to Facebook to keep friends up-to-date after he was caught in the deadly earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand.
Bruce Graham wrote on his page Tuesday that a 6.3 quake had struck while he was competing in a tennis tournament. It cracked the courts and damaged buildings, but the competitors are all okay.
Many of them were taken in for the night by a local couple.
Graham says despite the destruction in their city, New Zealanders have been generous and hospitable.
