It happened a little bit west of Chengdu (where Cynthia and I went at the beginning of April to see the Leshan Buddha) about 1000 miles due west of where I am located in Hangzhou (1400 miles by rail). A few people here felt some little vibrations but I was oblivious to the whole thing. I get most of my news of the quake from the china daily web site http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/ and from whatever Gail tells me on Skype from the American side. Very sad.
You can make the map a little bigger by clicking on it (for people like me that need it bigger to see all the fine print without my Walmart cheater glasses)
