Just saw this: Thousands Dead in China Quake. 7.8 magnitude – that’s about how bad the 1906 San Francisco earthquake was. The epicenter of the earthquake was about 57 miles from Chengdu, Sichuan’s capital, which is a city that was part of my China trip several years ago. From what I remember, the buildings were definitely not earthquake-ready. There are teenagers trapped in a collapsed school. :/

Lots of updates here: Shanghaiist. Totally random and odd, there’s a photo and note on that page about TONS of toads escaping onto the streets of Taizhou in Jiangsu province.

The parents just came home from a 2-week trip to China. They arrived home two days ago. While they were not in the Sichuan or Jiangsu region, there are reports that the earthquake was felt even in Beijing.
