Another major earthquake in Nepal (Mount Everest) .... the last one in April killed 8000 , there is a helicopter pilot there who has been giving first-hand reports when his phone works

Geologists say there are more to come , still lots of pressure in the fault lines needs to be released.

The USA (I presume) sent a V-22 to help with rescue but the downwash blew away some remaining buildings and they had to stop

Air is so thin all helicopters are limited what they can do

Just goes to prove no matter where you live nature can still get at you.
As well as the folks in the mid west I hope they get the help they need soon.
