Second Huge Earthquake Rocks Nepal

A new major earthquake has hit Nepal, just weeks after a powerful temblor killed as many as 8,000 people. A tremor of magnitude 7.4 struck 50 miles east of Kathmandu on Tuesday, the U.S. Geological Survey said. The quake was also felt in Delhi, India, and other locations, people said in posts to Twitter. Nepal is still struggling to cope with the destruction wrought by the earlier 7.8-magnitude earthquake, which was felt April 26.
