Wondered how folks are faring. Our media are not very good at follow-up on these stories.

Thanks, Claude!

How are your relatives faring?

One lot had no problems at all other than a fence having fallen over, the others (closer to the coast) had no sewer for a while and were stuck for a few days because of a bridge collapse, but they are all fine, thanks for asking.

Anyhow, about one hour and 20 minutes ago the had another major earthquake, 5 on the Richter scale, lasting some twenty seconds.

Ok, they just had another major one, and, although it was only 4.7, because it was so close to the surface, it felt a lot worse apparently.

I managed to talk to one of them via Skype, but, power-failures are a bit of a headache, so we lost contact again.

I just read about the most recent quake in my daily newspaper.

Keep us posted, please, Claude.

Just FYI, they had another few major jolts over the past weeks or so, you may find this live site of interest.

Thanks, Claude.

Hope all are well!

Aftershocks are not fun. Even a minor one can fray one's last nerve. I hope Nature settles down soon out there, Claude.
