I had family that lived there but back in the 60s! I heard about the tremors during that time frame when I was a kid.

All okay with you and yours there there?

Yep. Thanks for asking.

My Magic 8-Ball did fall of my computer......is that a bad omen? rb:

What did the 8-Ball say? I guess that would determine if it was a bad omen or not...

It said....."Don't believe the hype, the iPad sucks"

I'm not gonna live, everytime I see "Quake", I think of the good old gaming days.

On a more serious note, I hope everyone's alright.

 

[richc46]

How awful, seems to be happening more and more, what a shame. Hope that losses are at a minimum.

With all of the quake threads in the Chillout Room, I'm beginning to feel that this is the internet seismic center.

Maybe it should be re-named!

That's a big quake for anywhere, the building codes in the outer areas of China are not very good, hope they can get some help there. Still pretty cold there this time of year.

I live 400 yards (metres) from the Headquarters of the Shelterbox charity and they were in action within 17 minutes of the disaster being announced. They are truly wonderful people and I am privileged to know many of them personally.
