#1 HMMMMM, "Flattened schools", + "900 teenagers" + "eight schools", etc.

OLD DREAM/VISION > FOR ME, PORTENDS A TRAGIC POST-QUAKE DAY IN FUTURE GUAM, albeit on a smaller death scale. In these dreams/visions, I'm alot younger [decades] than I am now or sgould be. INTERESTING > tall buildings which will collapse then, in future, ARE ONLY BEING PLANNED = PROPOSED FOR CONSTRUCTION NOW???

#2 Us panda lovers are a little concerned - the Wolong Panda Preserve has gone completely offline, no word on the facilities, numerous keepers and support staff or the 150 bears in their care.

Chengdu Panda Preserve reported they are mostly okay.

/sorry, I know people are the priority but pannas are so dang cute.

#3 Don't know how it could be related, but reports today say that Mt. Etna waaaay over in Italy has erupted. Is it likely that the plates' shifting has caused this, or just a coincidence???

#4 It amazes me to see the difference that building codes can make. I know this was a big quake but I think Japan had a huge one recently and the loss of life was nothing compared to this.

#6 Caliphornia has a pretty good building code. The least stringent building code in America considering the risk of earthquakes is around Salt Lake City.

#7 MUSLIM NEWS > OVER 40% OF MYANMAR DEAD ARE CHILDREN. Also expected to comprise a large number and percentage of survivors.

HMMMMM, add Myanmar kids to CHINESE QUAKE child victims > may explain [in part?] my aforementioned dream where I appear to be young again ala FUTURE GUAM QUAKE???
