Earthquake in China

In China’s southwestern Sichuan province, a massive 6.6 magnitude earthquake hit the city, leaving 156 killed and thousands more injured. The toll will most likely rise in the next few days as aftershocks will continue to strike the area. It’s unfortunate that this province got hit again. It was also hit hard in 2008, though the one now is not as bad as it was back then. The 2008 earthquake was a deadly 7.9 on the Richter scale, and killed 90,000 people.
