Earthquake(or aftershock) strikes Sichuan again at 16:31, Aug 1st

A friend in Chengdu told me that another earthquake had just happened there and the shaking lasted for about 1 mintue!

Here's a general translation of his Fanfou(A twitter like service in Chinese)

There have already been a couple of aftershocks and this one seems to be one of the biggest.

I really hope the people in Sichuan could be all safe. Everyone, every life!
