Damage in Eastern Nepal
A magnitude 6.6 earthquake shook Eastern Nepal on August 21, 1988 at 04:39 hours although I slept right through it
(About 1004 persons died (282 in India and 722 in Nepal) and more than 16,000 injured; casualties were significantly reduced since in the summer time most people sleep outdoors. Significant damage was caused in three distinct regions: the area near the epicenter, and the areas around Munger (India) and Bhaktapur (near Kathmandu in Nepal); this damage pattern due to peculiar geology of the area is exactly similar to that of the 1934 Bihar-Nepal earthquake)
I was reminded of Isaiah 54:10 “Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the LORD
