Oh, good thinking Dr Doug! Thank heavens they are okay, but they're going to continue having some huge aftershocks. Those ones almost scare you more than the initial event because the first one takes a bit to comprehend. And then the NEWS people keep telling you the first quake may have been a FOREshock and a bigger one could be coming! How tragic for the people and animals affected. There used to be an organization called Noah's Wish that activated to help pets and domestic animals following a major disaster. I hope they still exist.
