A magnitude 6.8 earthquake shook India's Sikkim state on Sunday night, sending people running from their homes. The epicenter of the quake was about 40 miles from Gangtok, the state's capital, on the Nepalese border. The Indian government has reported that eight people died in India and Nepal, at least three when a building in Kathmandu collapsed. The quake also created a number of mudslides on the outskirts of Gangtok, killing at least one man who was trapped inside his car. Additionally, at least 100 people were injured, according to initial reports. The earthquake also temporarily disrupted telephone lines, and the rapid rate of cell phone use over-burdened mobile networks.
