Oh, man. The cyclone in Burma wasn't enough, now an earthquake in China, and a series of aftershocks continues. 900 students trapped under their collapsed school, 80% of buildings collapsed, damage to a chemical plant releases 80 tons of liquid ammonia. Furthermore, the Reuters article goes on to point out that this is one of China's most fertile areas, but relies on 2000-year-old flood control.

More to come as I find it. I'm going in search of first person reports asap.

In other disaster news, the first US aid reaches cyclone victims, finally. Situation there is still awful.

Another string of tornadoes this past weekend. This year has been twice as bad for tornadoes in the US as last year.

I'm not even going to go into the Hizballah takeover of Lebanon until tonight.

Prepare, people. Prepare.
