quake

02/23/11 09:48

Yesterday I emailed my friend Gilbert in Auckland, expressing hope that no one he knew was affected by the earthquake. I had forgotten how small New Zealand is.

He wrote back that he had been on a videolink with colleagues in Christchurch who "began to look distracted. Usually these meetings are very boring. However they all suddenly leapt up, shouting quake and headed for the stairs. The office is on the second floor. At that point the link died. We spent the rest of yesterday afternoon trying to make sure they were ok. The cell network died, landlines overloaded, power was extinguished from the city. For a while the whole place went back to the 19th century."

Everyone was OK, he wrote, but "two of them no longer have habitable homes."

He added: "We are still making sense of it and people look quite stunned. Because it happened in daylight, when people were up and out and about, there are already 65 confirmed deaths, with who knows how many hundred more trapped in collapsed buildings. Any death is to be regretted and it isn't a numbers game, but again because NZ is so small, each death has greater repercussions."

The reason why insurance providers offer annuities is usually to build the tax-deferred earnings super real the new loan balance is fixed with the math formula
of current principal balance+ upfront mortgage insurance premium.
