Yes...I saw a shot of one of them...high rise and cracked all over as well as outside chunks knocked off all the way to the top...I’ll see if I can find it as I go.
Watch the Clintons swoop in to the rescue.
Over 7.5 is crazy strong. From the looks of the roads, wow! Lots of movement.
Exactly what is your point in trolling me with earthquake photos?
You didn’t need the /sarc on that one.
Oh you bet...and others like them...as I mentioned before watch and see who the Foundation names are willing to take donations for people....
Well excuse me I thought you were interested in Mt. Everest as you said....I won’t bother thank you.
I know how you feel. Many people, particularly older ones, prefer to have all their communications in writing. They’re not terribly visual and photos can be intimidating.
Holy crap!
This is a nightmare. The pics are astonishing.
Well the guy was testy IMO ..and My intentions were honorable as you and others know well. I guess we’re all allowed to have called it wrong from time to time...I did on that one.
Pretty nasty destruction for those people to contend with..not to mention the body count is just going to keep escalating.....I think the International teams have begun to show up so that will be a huge help for them in recovery. They were still pulling live people out almost a week after in Haiti........this quake has the feel of that time.
Last i saw 8 were dead from the avalanch......
Yes, that’s what’s been reported so far. How awful for these people. Prayers for the safety of those lost and injured and for the aid workers and rescuers.
