Earthquake in Indian subcontinent

Earthquake struck twice within a span of two weeks in the Indian subcontinent. No damages in India. In Nepal thousands lost their lives. Many were injured and many many lost their homes.It does worry us greatly. When it would strike or how strong it would strike, all this is wild guess. Himalayan plate is moving and that is bad news for us We do not know what to save. First we have to save our lives. We moved out of our buildings. But for how long. Many in Nepal started living in tents on their fields. They think that would be safer.We think historical monuments are important. How to save them? We can only photo document them for posterity. Our living is too history for those of the future. So our present homes and offices are to be saved too. I guess we have to photo document that too. We have to know what is important now.TO KNOW WHEN THE QUAKE WOULD COME IS IMPORTANT.Doing geological investigations is important.
