Earthquake update

It's bad but nowhere near as bad as it could have been, I suppose-- property damages far outweigh human casualties.  The confirmed dead number between 30-60, depending on where you get your news, and search-and-rescue teams have brought in sniffer dogs to find survivors in the rubble.

I'm finding that foreign news sources are the most reliable.  Local reporters seem to be overly emotionally involved and prone to fearmongering... for instance, today's paper screamed, '300 feared dead!' but the story below the fold reveals that the actual number is only 38.
