There was a large earthquake in China last night (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24573168/) that buried 900 kids underneath collapsed schools.
My prayers go out for all the victims and their families.

The death toll was orginally reported as 150 people but is now up to 3,000-5,000 people in Sichuan province alone.

Same here, def. will be thinking about them and sending good thoughts their way.
I thought I heard on the news the after shocks could be felt in Taiwan and here in the USA from Maine to Arizona.
Holy shit Batman!

Found these pictures while reading through some of the stories on the quake. Some are not for the weak stomachs though.

Amazing, yet heart-wrenching. First Myanmar with a Cyclone, now the CHina Quake...and possibly Myanmar with another Cyclone?! Damn...

This article (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24642170/) and others I've seen this morning are reporting the death toll as high as 50K.
