A two year old baby has been rescued from the rubble. Just saw it on the news.

So the BBC tells us how strong the aftershocks were but not the main quake. Wut.

Don't know why they did that but just found out on Wikipedia the actual quake was 7.2 on the moment magnitude scale, (don't know what that is on the Richter Scale).

Seems to be a lot of natural disasters going on these days. In fact this whole year has had many disasters of all sorts.
My thoughts and prayers go out to all those in pain right now.

...Yes, unmercifully it particularly goes straight for those who actually underwent through horrid moments of a big event of natural disaster.

Isn't this an unusual time to see similar apocalyptic calamities recurring in such a relatively short period? No idea whether it's solely owing to a natural circle of phenomenal occurrence or inauspicious (or mythical) warnings from ancient prophets...

Being reported that the disasters are still continuing to happen is especially a gloomy thing for the people who lost their compatriots in the event, hope they have their fingers crossed, and may the reconsruction go smooth with their whole-hearted efforts and prayer.

But is it really that though? Any numbers on disasters happening more often then before?
