2 major natural disasters in a short time. Scary. Prayers to all.
短时间内发生了2次大型自然灾害。真恐怖。向所有人祈祷。
7.8 is quite high. However, I don’t know the region in China that it hit that well. But if there was shaking all way from Beijing to Hanoi... it’s gotta be a big one. Hope it struck somewhere where there’s not a lot of people . . . then again it is China.
Like the cyclone disaster, reports of injuries and deaths will be slow in coming out.
和飓风一样，有关伤员和死亡的报道将很久才能出来。
After taking a look at Chengdu, China, it does appear the epicenter was located near a mountain range in central China, not too close to any major population centers. We can hope for the best.
That particular region of China -- Sichuan Province -- hit by this quake i爱生活爱沧海y far the most populated of all provinces in that nation. This is an older population map of China, but you can see that the density of people in Chengdu is greater than anyplace else:

The buildings there are typically very old or of suspect construction if they're modern. It's not a particularly modernized province. The effects of this quake could be dreadful.
I’m off for the night. Prayers and God speed to those effected.
多谢。很快就有地区救援。。。我今晚要停下所有的事情。祈祷上帝立刻去帮那些受灾的人。
Oh my. 100+ Million people in that province; if my sleep deprived eyes aren’t lying to me. I appreciate the research into the area. I hope to find out more when I wake up. Thanks.
