Sichuan earthquake

Thanks to all the folks who've emailed and called to find out if we were in any way affected by the May 12th earthquake in Sichuan. Our family has not been personally affected by the quake - Dan said he didn't feel it at all, though there were reports of it being felt in Beijing. I haven't heard if residents of Hangzhou felt it or not and Dan's been busy with work so I haven't talked to him for a few days, but his family is all fine. From 2001 to 2003 Dan spent a lot of time travelling in Sichuan, but mostly near the borders of Qinghai and Gansu - all places that I'm sure felt the quake but which are thus far not mentioned in reports of serious damage.

Here's the map from the earlier post, this time with Zhejiang ("home") in green and Sichuan (where the quake was) outlined in saffron. Yunnan, the location of this semester's fieldtrip (and subject of the previous post) is the province just south of Sichuan.
