I know I'm late to the party here, but I was in Salt Lake City that morning and the entire hotel I was in shook back and forth for about 30-40 seconds.

Salt Lake isn't too far east of where the epicenter was in Nevada.

Wow, I'm surprised that BMW is only donating RMB 1 million. From what I've read, Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks make initial donation of over three million RMB to Chinese earthquake relief.

Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks announced today they will make an initial donation of over three million RMB (around 300,000 euros) to help victims of the massive earthquake that hit China?s Sichuan Province on Monday.

Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks said that in addition to their cash donation, they would match any donations raised by their employees.

Nokia has earmarked over 4,000 phones for immediate use in ongoing rescue efforts, with the first batch having already arrived, and Nokia Siemens Networks has established a 24-hour, on-site service for the local operator to ensure the integrity and effectiveness of its network.

Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks extend their condolences and sympathies to those affected by the earthquake, which to date has killed almost 15,000 people.
