Earthquake in India and Nepal
September 19, 2011
On Sunday an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.9 on the Richter scale hit north-eastern India and Nepal, followed by two aftershocks of magnitude 6.1 and 5.3. The earthquake could be felt as far away as the Indian capital Delhi, Tibet, Bangladesh and Bhutan. At least 16 people were killed. More aftershocks are possible, the population is still on alert. We are glad to hear all our customers are safe. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected by the earthquake.
