Just one note on that ancient seismograph: The cup in which the marble falls indicates the direction of the epicenter.

I am an English teacher living in China about 500 miles from the epicenter of the quake. Our floor felt and looked like it was buckling pretty badly although there is no actual damage. I suspect the numbers of deaths etc.. is going to get even higher than is reported this morning here. China's going to need some help with this. Please help.

Will, just a side note about the frogs. Do you think perhaps the salmon crisis in the pacific northwest could be a harbinger of natural disaster in that area?
No one semms to be able to offer an explanation. As soon as I read that mention of the frog migration, I immediately thought of that and all the offshore earthquakes in pnw.

LOOKING AT THE PICTURES FROM CHINA'S EARTHQUAKE PUT EVERYTHING INTO PERSPECTIVE FOR ME. I CAN'T EVEN WRAP MY MIND AROUND WHAT IT MUST BE FOR THOSE POOR PEOPLE AS THEY SEARCH FOR SURIVORS, FAMILY MEMBERS, CHILDREN AND SURVEY ALL THE RUINS. I PRAY GOD WILL BE WITH THEM AND GIVE THEM COMFORT EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.

NPR just happened to be broadcasting All Things Considered from Chengdu this week, about 45 miles away from the epicenter. They were conducting an interview for a piece when the quake happened, which you can hear on their "blog" at the following URL: http://www.npr.org/blogs/chengdu/

As always, NPR is doing some top-notch reporting on the crisis.

Will, you dropped the g from Shanghaiist. A friend was in a high-rise in Shanghai that was being evactuated via very crowded stairwells, and he was far from bemused.

A colleague mentioned that he thought it should be predictable by the government, and an email went out hours after the quake warning of more quakes between 10pm & midnight.
