quake

The geography specialists say that a strong earthquake could hit Kathmandu anytime now. They predicted it - within 6 yrs. and that's coming to an end i think.
They say, it's going to be so deadly - Kathmandu will liquidate - move like water. It's like something that was in Kashmir and Pakistan area, and Afganistan. And we have little hope for here as the houses are all weakly made and of concrete cement basically.
It would be quite unfortunate to lose so much of such a nice city. I shouldn't be mourning before anything actually happens. But I am amazed at the foresight scientist can have these days. The tsunami was forecasted i hear. And i am worried about the lack of alertness of the Nepalese government on this issue. When are they ever going to wake up to these realities that if god forbid such a quake does take place, what are they going to do about such a huge mess that is going to be created? And what about all the people?
Do we hate politicians because they take up humane issues so less often?

YEah, we have the same concerns here in Los Angeles. Except we are expecting a tsunami too.
