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.

7.8 is nearing 'Great Quake' status on Richter.
This one could be very bad indeed.

With the southern section of the San Andreas fault being 150 years overdue for a bigone and the Hayward fault ready to slip, I would not want to be anywhere near California anytime soon.

Looking at the coordinates on Google Earth significant populations are less than 4 miles away.
There's going to be massive damage.
But for the Grace of God go I.

The only bright side I can see is that currently the whole country is mobilized for the Olympics. Perhaps it will be easier to route aid to the needy areas? One can hope.

Probably compressional, roughly NE/SW. Odd that it seems so shallow....

Children killed in quake? Amazing! Who would have thought children might get killed in a natural disaster. Whoever wrote this headline is comatose.

FoxNews just reported 3,000-5,000 dead — based on current Chinese reports.
That number could rise.
