This is not an aftershock, but a second major earthquake 7.3 I really feel for the people and rescue workers out there.

This planet can be very unforgiving when it wants to be.

Epicentre was near Namche Bazaar a Sherpa town famous for it's Tibetan market and as a rest and relaxation place for climbers and Trekkers. Fantastic people and my heart goes out to them. Was last there at Xmas and find it very horrible to think of the situation there. Apart from the immediate problems in all Nepal from the earthquake they have also lost the grain needed to plant for next rice harvest, could have cholera outbreaks and mountain tourism, that many live from, will drastically decline for a number of years. Sickening.

Frightening to see office workers left their buildings in Delhi due to the tremors as it's hundreds of miles away.
