You're right. It's time to get the earthquake kit refreshed.

USGS Dr. Lucy Jones just appeared on GMA explaining that the shockwaves in Chengdu registered 7.0 which would collapse most older buildings and also damage some newer buildings.

I personally think they should let some US SAR teams in to help out with this.

That dam that was badly damaged may be a time bomb.

If they can no longer control its flow and there are heavy rains the water could well be rising behind a very damaged structure that can’t take it.
