OMG! I just read about that not long ago, I didn't see the extend of the damages and casualties because the earthquake was just started. They could detected all the way up to Beijing, the report said, and the strength of the quake was about 7.1 then.

My condolences to all victims families!

And I hope they will get all the required help in a timely manner.
