After that single phone call that got cut off after only a couple of minutes, we have been unable to reach mama in Dujiangyan. There is a big dam upriver and not far away that has cracks in it, and we're kind of hoping the family has left town and headed for Le Shan or Chengdu. The local engineers say the dam is stable, but if they're wrong and it collapses Dujiangyan will be flooded.
I've been trying to reach the U.S. Consulate in Chengdu to ask about getting visas expedited for my wife's parents. I don't have any money, but I've got a credit card, so if we can get them visas I can fly them here and they can stay with us. We'd actually love to have them at our place regardless of the circumstances.
