Chengdu-- home of the giant pandas, and now victim of a 7.9 earthquake. It's another sobering reminder that the big one could be coming any day now here in the Bay Area.It shows up starkly as a giant block the size of, oh say, New Mexico, in the USGS' World Earthquake Map.
I was amazed to find out that NPR reporters Robert Siegel and Melissa Block happened to be in Chengdu on Monday recording shows for All Things Considered. Talk about wacky timing. Listen to Melissa Block, who was rolling tape at the time of the earthquake.
