the Tieniu Square
My hometown Mianyang, Sichuan Province, China.
Earthquake measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale jolted Wenchuan County of southwest Sichuan Province at 2:28 p.m. Monday.
Bless Mianyang !!! Bless the folks of Sichuan safe, Amen !
As an inhabitant of a country where volcanism is a part of out lives, I can only say that my heart goes out to the people who were hit by this (massive!) earthquake.
Fortunately (for us) the earthquakes here are a little different in nature and are not this hard-hitting...
