7.8 magnitude earthquake strikes Nepal

Even then, it also depends on where the epicenter was and how deep it occurred with respect to death counts.

Initial reports indicate it was shallow quake, a little less than 10 miles deep, which is bad.

The death toll may have been reduced because it was a weekend and in the middle of day - so less people were trapped in homes or schools.

Yeah I heard on the radio of one village that has been completely leveled but because everyone was out in the fields to plant potatoes there were no casualties.
