From the article:

"According to the Sichuan provincial government on Tuesday morning, the Wenchuan earthquake has caused severe cracks in the dam of the Zipingpu Hydropower Station. The plant and associated buildings have collapsed, and some are partly sunk. The whole installation is out of commission."


So there is no power now nor water? Prayers for everyone in that area.

Whoa...that’s awful. I guess the good news is Three Gorges Dam seems to have escaped damage.
