Jesus, 200+ confirmed killed already. I'm checking in with my colleagues. I'll be there in two weeks.

4 dead and 40 injured at the university i work with - and was due to meet at the start of next month.

Awful

That's terrible.

I went to see them today and they managed to build a fully-functional, well-planned, temporary campus for several thousand students in eight weeks following the earthquake. Lots of geodesic domes. It was great to see life back to as close to normal as possible.
