SYDNEY, Feb 22 (Reuters) - A strong earthquake has cut power and caused damage in the New Zealand city of Christchurch, a witness told Reuters on Tuesday.
"There has been a lot of damage, our TVs have been smashed and there are big cracks in the house. Neighbours have lost brick fences," said Nicholas Hextall, who lives in central Christchurch.
He added power and water had been cut.
