It wasn't as strong as September's quake - 6.3 this time, 7.1 earlier - but after months of aftershocks, literally thousands of them, the land is broken. I can't see how they would have escaped deaths this time.
My family is safe and well, although my sister and her husband and their babies cannot get home.
I hate seeing my country like that from so far away.
But I am glad your family is well.
