May 12th China Earthquake

 

Liangping County, Chongqing Municipality, Wenhua Town

 

 

 

 

People afraid to return to their homes after the earthquake

because reports of more aftershocks all through the night. Many

people set up makeshift beds and spent the night outside in the

dark because power was out all over the town. People set up

umbrellas to protect against mosquitoes and other insects during

the humid night. 

In the first photo and third photo people are helping an old man get out of his house during a 4 am aftershock.

 

 

An earthquake like this has not been felt in this area since the 1970's.
