Excellent post. Thank you. I say prayers for all involved. Your photos let us see the savagery of these earthquakes.

Did you see the baby girl apparently born during the earthquake who was alive with her dead mom, unbiblical cord still attached? She was the only survivor in her family. She looked fat and healthy with a full head of hair.

This is beyond sad. Seeing the devastation on the news and how those people are suffering is heartbreaking. Bless those first responders from all over the world for helping.

@Kachina624 - I did see that - truly miraculous.

All of the news and the above posts go to remind us that we are isolated from so much in this country at this time in history. We don't have as many earthquakes, but we have a large potential for natural disasters that will come at some time.

Be thankful for the blessings we have, don't forget that there are higher powers than ours, and that the biggest blessings are often the ones we don't even think much about.

And I suspect some of the smaller agencies that help in crises like this may be working in more rural areas where help also is needed.

What a heartbreaker. Just curious .... did they report what time the earthquake happened, local time? Many bad ones seem to happen in the morning.

@Tinkrbl44 US Geological Survey says in a very good explanation on the USGS web pages (not copyrighted because US Govt. agency):

Earthquakes are equally as likely to occur in the morning or the evening. Many studies in the past have shown no significant correlations between the rate of earthquake occurrence and the semi-diurnal tides when using large earthquake catalogs.

Several recent studies, however, have found a correlation between earth tides (caused by the position of the moon relative to the earth) and some types of earthquakes. One study, for example, concludes that during times of higher earth and ocean tides, such as during times of full or new moon, earthquakes are more likely on shallow thrust faults near the edges of continents and in (underwater) subduction zones.

@Tinkrbl44 Around four in the morning. Many probably still asleep in their beds.
