I was just reading an inner office e-mail about how much money our company employees donated to the China Earthquake Relief Fund with the Red Cross.

 

Then I surfed back to cc.com and saw your thread and just about pooped my pants.

 

I did not see on your link the magnitude of that earthquake.

 

The destruction caused by natural disasters really disturbs me.

6.2 is not big by any stretch of the imagination...it can have some significant shaking, however, if its got the right fill and depth is right, blah blah blah...get bwrts to expound....some....

Look at the size of the colored square on the map, then compare that size to the legend next to the pic... you'll see that quake was a 6.change

and this:

 

the size of the box indicates the magnitude (6.7, i.e. BIG)

puts you in the 6.whatever range. By clicking on the colored box, you will find that it was a 6.3 temblor.
