Sikkim, India
A large 6.8 earthquake has rocked this section of India today. I live in one of the largest Indo-American communities here in the United States, and just want to extend my thoughts and prayers to everyone impacted. Here are the official details for the US Geological Society. A large 4.8 aftershock was also felt just moments ago.
