<\/a>USGS May 12, 2015 Nepal earthquake map<\/p><\/div>\n
Just when I was starting to think that there was a light at the end of the tunnel, Nepal has today been rocked by another earthquake<\/a><\/span>. \u00c2\u00a0This one was focused to the east of Kathmandu, about halfway to Mt Everest. \u00c2\u00a0Ang Jangbu, Pasang, and our staff in Kathmandu report that it was very scary, with hard shaking.\u00c2\u00a0 Their families are all OK, but they are again sleeping outdoors in tents, for fear of aftershocks.\u00c2\u00a0 Up in the Everest area there is a lot of new damage to the sherpa villages.\u00c2\u00a0 Phunuru reports from Phortse that many of the homes that survived the April 25 earthquake<\/a><\/span> have now been destroyed and that many people are sleeping outside.\u00c2\u00a0 They are sending a crew up to the storeroom in Pheriche to get tents. \u00c2\u00a0They may also go up to Gorak Shep tomorrow to the storeroom there to get some of our big kitchen and dining tents that are stored up there.\u00c2\u00a0 We have told them to take what they need.<\/p>\n We have been receiving donations from many people for the IMG Sherpa Fund, and so far we have raised over $40,000 which is a good start but I am confident we can do better.\u00c2\u00a0 Our goal is to provide direct assistance to our IMG sherpa staff who have done such a great job supporting our IMG teams.\u00c2\u00a0 After the first earthquake, we had identified 6 IMG sherpa families with totally destroyed homes and 9 with partially damaged homes.\u00c2\u00a0 Now, however, that total is going to be much, much higher. \u00c2\u00a0If you would like to help, you can send a check to the address below. Please make checks payable to IMG and include a note on the memo line indicating that it is for the IMG Sherpa Fund.\u00c2\u00a0 We will bundle 100% of the funds we receive, and send to Ang Jangbu and Pasang to distribute to these families.<\/p>\n International Mountain Guides Eric Simonson<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" May 12, 2015 Just when I was starting to think that there was a light at the end of the tunnel, Nepal has today been rocked by another earthquake. \u00c2\u00a0This one was focused to the east of Kathmandu, about halfway to Mt Everest. \u00c2\u00a0Ang Jangbu, Pasang, and our staff in Kathmandu report that it was […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":13684,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13683","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-everest"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13683","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13683"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13683\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13688,"href":"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13683\/revisions\/13688"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13684"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13683"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13683"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13683"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
