急!英语好的朋友进来帮个忙

Although I was not born in Sichuan, I am a half-Sichuan: My wife was born in Dujiangyan, and I have been to Dujiangyan and Jiuzhaigou many times.

At about 6 AM on Monday (5/12) morning I was waken up by a few loud phone rings. I was wondering who would call us so early. I answered the phone and my wife's sister in Shenzhen told me that there was a big earthquake in Dujiangyan, thousands of people may have died, and she did not know if all relatives are OK...

I checked CNN. The web site said there was an earthquake in Sichuan, but only a few hundred people died. I felt relief a little bit--maybe it is just a small earth shaking. I told my wife there was an earthquake, and ask her to call China as soon as possible.

I was trying to call relatives in Dujianyan for several hours, but never had any luck--"all circuits are busy now, please call again later". I thought maybe there was really not available circut for my VoIP account.
