Eh, earthquakes that strong are relatively frequent. Doesn't seem to be anything special here.

I know they're not infrequent, but it still seemed like an interesting coincidence.

Well, the internet here in China is, in a word, broken. I'm able to get some functionality now that I'm here in Hong Kong, but on the mainland, we're limited to local stuff.

Or were. Maybe it's working now. Maybe it's a big experiment in seeing how much outside access the PRC really needs. I was able to access US sites after the quake for a bit, but about twelve hours later, nothing.

Google works. Odd, that.
