http://www.scmp.com/video/ It has been almost a year since the magnitude-8 earthquake struck Sichuan. Singer CoCo Lee, who has a special tie with the region, recently joined the South China Morning Posts Homes for Hope project, dedicated to rebuilding homes and lives in the Chinese province.

http://www.scmp.com/video/ The South China Morning Post has launched the "Homes for Hope" project in an effort to raise much-needed funds to replace the homes lost to the May 12th earthquake in Sichuan. Part of the funds from this year's Operation Santa Claus will also be spent towards this goal. The earthquake left thousands of villagers homeless. Many watched helplessly as their homes collapsed. With winter approaching, the need to rebuild homes is more urgent than ever. One village which was particularly hard hit was Qiangquan Village in Jiulong County in Sichuan. In this video, hear from the villagers about their struggle to rebuild.

Bizarre colorful (luminous/glowing) cloud phenomenon in the sky was observed about 30 mins before the May 12, 2008 Sichuan earthquake took place. This was recorded in Tianshui, Gansu province ~450km northeast of epicenter, by someone using a cell phone. source: http://news.qq.com/a/20080513/004283.htm See similar cloud formation captured 20 minutes later in a different city, ~200km east of this location: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzVamNQzfYA A map of the locations with sightings of very similar phenomenon. http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/2453/ecjm1.jpg More photos taken, reported 1 hr before the quake.: http://shenyun.epochtimes.com/b5/8/5/14/n2116538.htm These clouds seemed to be glowing or somewhat luminous and seemed to resemble some characteristics of the Auroras. I am not sure exactly what they were or whether they indeed had anything to do with the quake. I am no expert anyways. See if any scientists are willing to give a full explanation. If such phenomenon can be proved for its connection with earthquake occurrences, maybe they could be used as warning signs and would be life saving. If not, just learn these clouds as yet another rare atmospheric phenomenon and no need to panic when seeing them. After all, this might well be just a rare atmospheric phenomenon occurred by coincidence. Though, just wondering if there's any possibility the formation of such rare clouds be catalyzed by any event?? I guess some of you might find the following articles interesting. http://www.spectrum.ieee.org/print/2367 http://online.wsj.com/article/SB121124372394605609.html http://environment.newscientist.com/article/mg19826514.600-curious-clou For Chinese readers: (about the poem that predicting the quake) 四川強震／李白「壓箱詩」預言？　純屬網路謠言！ http://www.nownews.com/2008/05/21/162-2278152.htm

Bizarre glowing cloud phenomenon in the sky was observed about 10 mins before the May 12, 2008 Sichuan earthquake took place.

The phenomenon was said to last for about 1 min. source: http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_cb00XMjczNTczNDA=.html A map showing two locations where such clouds were sighted relative to Sichuan earthquake epicenters: http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/2453/ecjm1.jpg See similar clouds appeared ~200km west of this location: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKMTSDzU1Z4 More photos (reported taken 1 hr before the quake): http://shenyun.epochtimes.com/b5/8/5/14/n2116538.htm These clouds seemed to be glowing or somewhat luminous and seemed to resemble some characteristics of the Auroras.
