I am in China, Chinese.
Nearest rescue team is still 100KM away from the earthquake center, since the shock center lies in the mountain area, and roads are blocked by earthquake, power, tele-communication broke off. We still can not get any information from the central disaster area. Air force has send 4 helicopters for observation, but they did not get to the destination and returned base due to heavy rain.
Latest victim reached 8533, and is regarded to increase as the whole picture of disaster be discovered!
