Myanmar and China in swift succession.
The tail end of the cyclone brought horrific weather to the mountains of northern Vietnam and the tremors from Sichuan were felt in higher buildings in Hanoi. Hard to imagine the isolated suffering of the people left unaided by the junta, so soon after the Christmas Tsunami of 2004. The toll in China continues to rise as excavations continue in the rubble of collapsed schools and other building around Sichuan. Our friends in Xi'an were severely rattled, trapped in their 24th floor apartment where the effect of the quake is even more pronounced than at ground level. A friend in the Irish Embassy in Hanoi (around 1000km from the epicentre) evacuated along with the rest of his staff. There was no noticable effect at ground level.
Our thoughts are with the people who were lost and especially those who have lost.
