Another Nepal earthquake rattled the nation of Nepal, the second one in a span of two weeks. The recorded 7.3 magnitude Nepal Earthquake bombarded the country and extends up to India and Bangladesh on Tuesday leaving at least four people dead in town of Chautara, east of Kathmandu.
A strong Nepal earthquake struck the country again, but reports revealed that luckily it is not as powerful as the first April 25 earthquake that killed around 8,000 people. In the latest report today from CBS News, the aftershock was able to collapse buildings and made Nepalese run for their safety.
The U.S. Geological Survey revealed that the quake occurred at 3:05 a.m. Eastern, in the town of Chautara, about 25 miles east of the capital, particularly between Kathmandu and Mount Everest. The fatalities include four deaths where two people came from India.
According to Independent report, the Nepal earthquake was measured at a shallow depth of about 19 km (12 miles). U.S. Geological Survey initially set the magnitude at 7.1, but was changed to 7.3 after some time. The epicenter was recorded near the Himalayan town of Namche Bazar.
The second Nepal earthquake trembled Nepalese, who fled their homes and run to the streets and fields. With the strong quake, death toll is expected to increase. Rescue operations in the area are already doing their jobs to find survivors in the rubbles of the collapsed buildings and houses.
The aftershock has also led to landslides and collapsed houses in Sindupalchowk, an area north of the capital. According to CNN report, the devastating quake hit as far as India particularly its capital, New Delhi.
In the latest report of BBC, at least about 300 people were wounded. After the second Nepal earthquake struck, multiple aftershocks were felt. People are becoming more afraid of the tremors that are being felt.
The Kathmandu airport has been reportedly closed while hundreds of frantic people were running out of the building. People were heard screaming as they felt the tremors happening again and again.
Nepal hasn't started recovering yet and it was hit again by devastating quake. People are terrified, thinking the disaster "seem like forever."
With Nepal earthquake, damages, deaths and people wounded will continue to increase in numbers. Let's pray for Nepal!
