Earthquake in Central China
May 12, 2008 by willng24.
This morning a 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit central China with a death toll rising close to 9000. This earthquake was so large that vibrations were felt as far away at Thailand and Vietnam.
Besides the major disaster that this earthquake has caused, it couldn’t have come at a worse time as China still struggles with relations with Tibet along with preparations for the looming Olympics in August.
We can only pray for those involved in the disaster and their family members. Even though I don’t have relatives in that area I can surely feel for the magnitude of this disaster. Surely there will be relief efforts in play and hopefully it won’t be anything like the barriers that Myanmar is facing.
