To put this in some kind of perspective for Americans, San Francisco County stats for 2006 showed number of housing units at 356,470. Fifteen million displaced by these quakes--it's unfathomable to my puny brain. And it ain't over yet. You've gotta wonder what comes next. China will never be the same. The world will never be the same.
