A couple more earthquakes hit today, but not in Japan or Canada. It was infact in south China's Yunnan Province and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. The quake had a magnitude of 7.2 and an epicenter of 10km deep. Two hours after the 8:29 pm (local time) an after shock with a magnitude of 5.4 hit the area. It's said that ten people were killed through consequences of the earthquakes, including collapsing walls, buildings and landslides. In certain areas, such as Tachilek, citizens have been advised to leave their houses, especially apartment buildings as a precaution.

Eco-Note: With all this snow comming back (I'm loving it!) grab a shovel for the driveway, and not that snowblower! Not only is this a lot more environmentally friendly, it's a lot better for you as well (as long as you don't freeze your toosies off!) shoveling for an hour can burn 288 calories!
