Earthquake in Central China
This morning a 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit central China with a death toll rising close to 9000. This earthquake was so large that vibrations were felt as far away at Thailand and Vietnam.
Besides the major disaster that this earthquake has caused, it couldn’t have come at a worse time as China still struggles with relations with Tibet along with preparations for the looming Olympics in August.
We can only pray for those involved in the disaster and their family members. Even though I don’t have relatives in that area I can surely feel for the magnitude of this disaster. Surely there will be relief efforts in play and hopefully it won’t be anything like the barriers that Myanmar is facing.

I was walking down Harrison and Beach Street yesterday and bumped into someone who informed me that the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association is holding a fundraiser/event to help with victims of the earthquake on Monday 7pm at the CCBA building on 90 Tyler St. I plan on being there with my checkbook. If I see any flyers or announcements I’ll post it on the blog asap.
