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.

The subsequent damage by the major earthquake in sichuan china will be tremendous and out of most people can image. WengChuang county( the earthquake center)is located in the Ming river (the one of largest tributary of Yangzi river),the rock of the both bank of the Ming rive is loose, and the earthquake will cause large scale landslide ,and the river interdiction could be forescasted, even worse there are lot of dams in the Wengchuang county, God bless

I came from China, reported by officials, more than 10000 people dead in this earthquake, and the army also entered into the disaster area for succor, the worst report is there was more than 300 students dead in a schoolhouse falled in, only around 100 kids was saved.
We all pay attention to this unprecedented national suffering and pray for our country.
