Sichuan University student takes video at 2:29pm in dorm.

The 2008 Sichuan earthquake shook Wenchuan County, Sichuan province of the People's Republic of China at 14:28:04 local time (06:28:04 GMT). It had a magnitude of 7.8 Mw according to the State Seismological Bureau of China and United States Geological Survey. The earthquake was felt as far away as Beijing and Shanghai, where office buildings swayed with the impact and Vietnam capital Hanoi.The closest major city from the earthquake's epicenter is Chengdu.

The epicenter was at 31.084°N, 103.267°E, in Wenchuan County, Ngawa Prefecture, 90 km northwest of Chengdu, Sichuan, China, with its main tremor so far occurring at 14:28:04 local time (06:28:04 am GMT) on Monday 12 May 2008. Early reports of the earthquake's Richter scale magnitude ranged from 7.6 to 8.0. Five major aftershocks ranging in magnitude from 4.0 to 6.0 were recorded within two hours of the main tremor.

Office workers in Chengdu reported a "continuous shaking for about two or three minutes", with many people rushing outside.

UPDATE: I'm safe now and the worst place is in Sichuan. Don't worry for me and just pray for people in Sichuan! A friend in Chengdu, Sichuan is updating our blog at

=========================
I was running outside at the 15th floor. I was thinking nothing when on the 15th floor. After getting the 5th floor, I started to be clearer. People started to talking, asking each others. Also I am sorry for my poor English: I speak really good Chinese, but I just want the world (who don't understand Chinese) to know it clearly (There are tons of videos in Chinese, if you understand Chinese you can just go for those ones... I embeded many at our blog www.ifgogo.com)

However the website(ifgogo.com) is just a group blog (non-profit). There is NOT a single ad on that blog!

It's really terrible being staying high above when the building was shocking, however, when I got outside, it's much safer I was just very tired. For those who are talking about the 2:40-girl-"omg", I have to say, when you run outside a building from an earthquake seeing a girl with naked legs (no pants) maybe you will say "omg" too.

Anyway, thanks for your attention and wishes. Sorry for my poor English. I am not shaking my cellphone or whatever, it's just a real escape. I just want you guys know what's happening here, that's all.
