Jonathan, the administrator of the LOT Home in Relli, India which is nestled in the Himalayan Mountains just east of Nepal reports: We experienced an earthquake measuring 7.9 on the Richter scale. It was really frightening and a scary time for all of us. We were indoors and it was four minutes to mid-day. When the movement started we scattered out and then faced a series of shakes one after another. We heard people crying loudly in the streets and everywhere. We heard an enormous sound like banging below the earth. We felt as if we were in a boat sailing in the stormy sea. Some felt giddy and nauseous. Many days we had to stay out in the open ground and even spent some nights there too. Some of our children have colds and coughs but we feel relief that we are all safe.
