At Least 300 Killed in Western China Quake ( Keta ho daar lagna lagyo malai ta , Nepal najik najik pugna atyoo bhanya ) BEIJING -- A series of strong earthquakes struck China's western Qinghai province Wednesday, killing at least 300 people, injuring thousands and burying many others under toppled houses in a mountainous rural area, officials and state media said. The U.S. Geological Survey said a magnitude 6.9 temblor struck an area in southern Qinghai, near Tibet, on Wednesday morning and was followed by several aftershocks. The main quake sent residents fleeing as it toppled houses made of mud and wood, said Karsum Nyima, the Yushu county television station's deputy head of news, speaking by phone with broadcaster CCTV. "In a flash, the houses went down. It was a terrible earthquake," he said. "In a small park, there is a Buddhist tower and the top of the tower fell off. ... Everybody is out on the streets, standing in front of their houses, trying to find their family members." The quake hit the county of Yushu, a Tibetan area in Qinghai's south, said the China Earthquake Networks Center, which measured the quake's magnitude at 7.1. A local government Web site put the county's population in 2005 at 89,300, a community of mostly herders and farmers.

For Nepal- It is not a question of  IF,its a question of when. The faultline that lies close to Kathmandu has been building up pressure for the last 200 years.The release of the pressure is an eventuality that cannot be avoided. With the building laws in Nepal(or the lack of it),one can only imagine the horror,death toll, and carnage when a major quake does hit Kathmandu. The most frustating aspect is that we can't do anything but pray. God help us when we are eventually hit by one.
