Latest update: 34 confirmed dead. 69 hospitalized. 119 still missing. Link (Chinese)

A primary water main serving much of the city ran under the toppled building, and it was damaged. Water service to our district has been out since the quake, and the city just announced that they don't expect to have it repaired until 2/14. They cannot get to the damaged pipe while rescue efforts are still ongoing.

Our building has rooftop and underground reserve water tanks which are expected to last 2-3 days. So we still have water presently, but will likely run out in the next day or two. My in-laws live in a different district, and their service was restored today. So we may be going over there to shower for the rest of the week.
