Michael, were getting some updates on the casualties now. At least 11 people dead, but that is just in pakistan, in a certain region there. That number will likely rise because of all the build thags have collapsed. 55 people have been taken to the hospital. The injured are continuing to arrive. All the hospitals there are on stand by. It was in northern afghanistan, but it was felt hundreds of miles away. It hit about an hour and a half ago at the tail end of lunchtime in that region. Some first pictures coming into the newsroom as well. An nbc producer in that region said the earthquake felt very strong and seemed to last forever. The walls were shaking. People were pouring out of buildings. Another nbc producer in lah er in r in lahore, pakistan, described it as being on a new york city subway, a rough ride, just up and down for a long time. His lunch on the table literally popping up anticipate d down. It was severe enough he wasnt able to hold on to his phone to snap a picture. So far, no aftershocks. They usually come in about 30 to 40minute sbher intervals. People there are being told to stay out of the buildings. The government is pretty much shut down at this point, not doing any work. We also need to mention that the quake came a couple days after really heavy rain fell in a lot of afghanistan. So those kind of mudbuilt homes and huts are very vulnerable at this point.
