Earthquake in China | Death toll at 127 in Gansu and Qinghai provinces

The Hindu  

A strong overnight earthquake rattled a mountainous region of northwestern China, authorities said on December 19, destroying homes, leaving residents out in a below-freezing winter night and killing 127 people in the nation’s deadliest quake in nine years. The magnitude 6.2 earthquake struck just before midnight on Monday, injuring more than 700 people, damaging roads and knocking out power and communication lines in Gansu and Qinghai provinces, officials and Chinese media reports said. The earthquake struck at a relatively shallow depth of 10 kilometers in Gansu’s Jishishan county, about 5 kilometers from the provincial boundary with Qinghai, the China Earthquake Networks Center said. “My legs went weak, especially when we ran downstairs from the dormitory.” The death toll was the highest since an August 2014 quake that killed 617 people in southwest China’s Yunnan province.
