I heard about that the other day... I also heard that they were able to recover a pregnant woman from her collapsed apartment... She didn't suffer any life threatening injuries from what I heard. When I saw all the faces of the onlookers as they pulled her to safety it made me smile...

They were all so happy to see she was okay.

I'll have to try and see if I can send some money to the Red Cross... I am broke as a joke...

I share your concerns. I too have been thinking alot about not only china but also the cyclone that devastated Myanmar. I am a scientist with a degree in Earth Science, and these type of natural disasters are so difficult to predict or even prepare for. It's natures way of showing us who is in charge. I hope we take from it that ever day is precious.
