89 Dead After Chinese Quake

Eighty-nine people are dead, more than six hundred are injured, and hundreds more are missing after a 6.6 earthquake struck the Gansu province of China.

Monday morning's quake destroyed at least twelve hundred homes and damaged more than twenty-one thousand as it shook for over a minute.

After shocks as high as 5.0 have been felt since.

Thousands of  military and police joined emergency crews in search and rescue operations.

Adding to their troubles are heavy rains, which drenched the area over the weekend, and are expected back on Tuesday.
