We just had a 6.5 earthquake here (well a couple hundred miles north of my town).. It happened in the ocean 22 miles away from land so the city just felt the aftershocks. Nobody was hurt but it caused like $25 million dollars worth of damage.

Nothing like what happened in Haiti. Hopefully there isnt as many deaths as expected.

I heard about this, how devastating...

I did not know about that

 

[Raven]

I didnt actually realise how bad this was till I looked at the news this afternoon. How devastating.

Eeek! They're saying the death toll may be over 100,000 here.

That's shocking.

I was watching the news earlier and they said that hundreds of people locked away in prisons have been freed due to the earth quakes. There is rioting and looting everywhere.

I'm going to estimate the death toll to be 500,000+
