More info[edit]

The earthquake report site lists the death toll as having reached 89 and also gives a bunch of other info collected from various news reports, but tracking down the original sources might not be easy. I just found the death toll listed as 89 at reuters so I'll go update that in the article now. EdwardLane (talk) 09:40, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Doublet?[edit]

The two shocks mentioned in the lead (at 03:19 and 04:16, UTC) certainly look like an earthquake doublet (and not like a typical aftershock sequence), but the source cited for that determination being in Chinese makes verification rather difficult. On the assumption that the source does say this, and given the failure of the old USGS sources, I have searched the ANSS ("USGS") catalog for documentation, and found four more events listed. (The ISC catalogs only the first, presumably because the others are below their magnitude cut-off.) I have searched the English language seismology literature, but found no mention of this being a doublet. I did find such a mention on the web, but it did not cite a source. So verifiability is a bit iffy. ♦ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 01:23, 24 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
