CNN reports another major earthquake in Nepal:

This was another major earthquake, the kind where you run for your life, where you seek any open area so nothing falls on your head and you don't get trapped under the rubble.

This is on top of the recent magnitude 7.8 quake there.

The Washington Post reports more than 50 dead:

NEW DELHI — A major earthquake rocked Nepal on Tuesday, killing more than 50 people, collapsing homes and buildings and triggering a panicked rush into the streets less than three weeks after the country’s most devastating quake in decades. The temblor, with a preliminary magnitude of 7.3, was the largest jolt in the Himalayan nation since the April 25 earthquake that claimed more than 8,000 lives and left more than half a million homes flattened or damaged. The latest quake struck near the Chinese border not far from the base camp at Mount Everest. The camp was engulfed by an avalanche during last month’s earthquake that left 20 climbers dead. Tremors were felt in major cities around the region Tuesday — as far as 600 miles to the east in New Delhi.

    Why is God doing this to the poor people of Nepal? Why? They never did anything harmful to America. Why would God treat the Nepalese so badly?
