The Earthquake

It just keeps getting worse.

"I have been informed by my department that more than 30,000 people have died in Kashmir," Tariq Mahmmod, communications minister for the Himalayan region, told The Associated Press.

Saturday's magnitude-7.6 quake also struck India and Afghanistan, which reported hundreds dead.

Every time I click on a news site I see a higher estimated death toll. Hopefully these counts are way off to the high side.
