5.0 quake hits China

A 5.0-magnitude earthquake on Thursday struck the region of southwest China devastated last year by a massive quake, but there were no reports of casualties.
The latest earthquake occurred at 4.25pm (Singapore time) about 200 kilometres north-east of the Sichuan provincial capital, Chengdu. The quake occurred at a depth of just 10km.
Last year's 8.0-magnitude earthquake on May 12 left nearly 88,000 people dead or missing, injured 375,000 and left more than five million homeless, according to previous official estimates.

Sichuan was the site that was battered with the earthquake previously.
Luckily for us, we are not living at the earthquake zone.
Or else all our properties will be ruined by the natural disaster.
Thanks GOD !!!!
We are not homeless.
