Ouside Reading February 1

For this outside reading blog, I am going to comment on an article about a natural disaster. The natural disaster is about an earthquake that occurred in Sichuan Province in China. It occurred last May. This particular earthquake scored a 7.9 on the Richter scale which is pretty high. Over 15 million people were living in that area at the time. 12,000 casualties were recorded but another 18,000 people were missing.
