Just got an alert that the death toll nears 900 I'm sure there will be more. Quoting: Simple27 Yes, I am afraid it could be shockingly higher, possibly upwards of 100k is not out of the realm of possibilities Thankfully it was during the day rather than at night. If it had been at night it would surly be worse but the data indicates that the cost of lives could be very extreme [ link to kathmanduquake.blogspot.co.nz] Quoting: Anonymous Coward 33645830 and [ link to kathmanduquake.blogspot.co.nz] Kathmandu, Nepal ranked first in GeoHazards International's study of 'Cities Vulnerable to Earthquake', followed by Istanbul, Turkey; Delhi, India; Quito, Ecuador; Manila, Philippines; and Islambad/Rawalpindi, Pakistan--all of which could expect fatalities in the tens of thousands if disaster struck. The only first-world cities on the list were in Japan: Tokyo, Nagoya and Kobe.
1. Kathmandu, Nepal: 69,000
A study by GeoHazards International predicted a 6.0 earthquake would kill approximately 69,000 people this growing city of about 1 million, the most densely populated district of Nepal.And this quake is much larger . This is truly horrifying . [ link to kathmanduquake.blogspot.co.nz] Here is the pdf for the global study that listed Kathmandu as the number one concern for earthquake devastation [ link to geohaz.org] Also note the second picture from this article that shows the map of the region and previous quakes. The 8.0 quake in 1934 claimed over 10,000 lives in Kathmandu and the epicenter is much further away from Kathmandu than the 7.9 that hit today.

I feel a slight respite, then the shaking will continue. My gut feeling is that we are going to get a substantial earthquake here in the U.S. I don't think it will be anywhere near what we have seen so far, but it certainly will be a major wake-up call.

Quoting: tiger1 I know they love to hide things, but I don't think their systems can keep up with it all. One quake overrides another, causing misreads across the board. Makes all the graphs suspect.

I was up early this morning and saw some of the 1st news on CNN. I was going to get on here. But when it's like 1am my time, I know most of you are sleeping. But I should have. Oh well. It funny. The neighborhood birds are much more active then usual, and a lot more out then usual too. It's a fairly nice morning. Breezy, party clouys with plenty of sun breaks. But it's like the birds know the earth is active. I've seen them all this morning, and still hear them. Crows, Robins, Blue Jay, Starlings, Sparrows, even the honking of Geese. This is all from inside. I did crack a window, but still, birds are being noisy. This guy woke me up bright and early at like 7:30. I was paitnet, and sat by the window through a whole cup of coffee.
