Casper Posted May 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 It reported that authorities were yet to reach Wenchuan County -- which sits at the epicenter of the 7.8-magnitude earthquake with a population of about 112,000 -- because of damage to roads.Jesus... This is horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r1crusher Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 I was in the city of Suzhou a couple years ago. It boasts some the oldest gardens in China, very, very beautiful. I can't imagine the devastation of 80 percent of the buildings destroyed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kip Drordy Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 I heard that the quake was felt 2000+ miles away. Unreal. I feel like Central Asia and Eastern Europe are getting hit hard with natural disasters lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
