◼ LOCAL MAN IN NEPAL SENDS PHOTOS AND REPORT FROM THE SCENE OF TODAY’S EARTHQUAKE THAT KILLED HUNDREDS - Kym Kemp/RedheadedBlackBelt
“We are stuck in Lukla. No flights in or out,” came the message from Dave Creech. He and his partner Neal Carnam, both of Northern California, had been exploring the area around Mount Everest when a 7.8 quake struck. Family here anxiously awaited news (see this post here for more information) for hours until just recently when Creech and his partner were able to contact them and let them know they were all right.... Creech sent photographs from the area as the people in Nepal grapple with damaged buildings and fears of aftershocks
