Earthquake!

We are thankful to report that no one we know was injured during the earthquake. If you haven't heard, it was West of us (Shiyan, Hubei) in the Sichuan Province. Most of China felt the earthquake, even most of Asia. Here is the AP article: http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5gBr_dOzJ9Pnc_U9gSgtTgE-cR-KwD90K8VFG0

Please pray for those still trapped and the families of all the victims.

We are currently finishing our semester here at the medical college. When the quake struck Jaime and I were both at the very beginning of class. Jaime was not sure what was happening, her classroom didn't move as much. I was in a different building and felt the earthquake a little more. The video projection unit mounted to the ceiling began swaying, then the ceiling fans, and finally everyone felt it and we all became a little quiet. The duration was about 2 minutes, then I began teaching.

There was no damage or injuries here. The students immediately began receiving text messages from friends and family from all over China. Everyone was reporting on their experience and warning that more earthquakes were scheduled to arrive later in the evening, probably 7:30pm (like you can schedule earthquakes).
