Earthquake and deaths on Malaysia's highest point.

Today I have seen net-news-articles about a large earthquake near Borneo and of >= 10 deaths of hikers/climbers on Malaysia's highest point, Mt. Kinabalu.

One reason for remarking on it here is that Adam Helman and Bob Packard ascended it some years back. A tight business getting permission to go up it.

A second reason is that the mountain's name means "of the dead". So now it has a few more. The mountain has spiritual or superstitious meaning for the local inhabitants. Already some are blaming the earthquake on some tourists/climbers a week ago who stripped naked up top, took photos and posted it on Facebook.

There are strange rock formations on top of it. One was called 'Donkey&#39;s Ears'. The earthquake broke off one of the ears.

Be Careful In the Area of the Lyon NY COHP

Two extremely dangerous prisoners have escaped from the State Prison in Dannemora NY, past which highpointers drive en route to the Lyon County HP. They are still on the loose and could be anywhere. I suggest avoiding this area until they are recaptured or positively sighted somewhere else.
