Could you repost the link? I don't see it.

That is a mighty big quake, my goodness.

Waiting for more info.

Thanks for the heads up!

Do we think that damage and casualty reports will be accurate? Or will they be controlled by the Chinese Govt especially in light of the upcoming Olympic games?

Earthquakes, Virus's and Protests... OH MY! They are having a rough build up to the games.

Jeebus,that's a big'un.

hope there's minimal casualties ect. What is it with all the big natural stuff going on at the moment?

I have been in contact with a colleague in Hong Kong and he's had no report of damage to our office or casualties in Chengdu so far. I've also checked network connections to the site and it's all still up... which is a good sign.

Did China help us after Katrina?

Just wondering what the odds of us working together with them are if this does turn out to be deadly?

It would be a sign of good faith if these two mega-countries could do something positive together.

Chengdu is a pretty large city. Epicenter was roughly as far away from Chengdu as the epicenter of the 1989 quake that damaged San Francisco, but the magnitude is rather more intense. Let's see if it gets revised up or down in the next little while.

I don't know why we wouldn't. It's pretty common; I think China sent army surplus tents to the US for some reason (my memory fades).

There was a lot of people that predicted a big earthquake in southern China... but they were predicting it for June... well.

There's not more ``natural`` disasters than before... it's just that some of them are engineered. Sorry but weather weapons exists, so why not satellite induced earthquake weapons? Or something else that we don't know about? Black technology... I mean there's a lot of black technology we don't know about, it's possible.

I'm currently connected to my two CCTV servers at our Chengdu office and all seems to be ok there. No signs of any damage and staff are still at the office.

Scalar tectonics. Weather manipulation. Pick your poison.
