Message no. 1 Don't know about the rest of you but here in Australia the media is making
the quake out to be a major disaster. If it's as bad as they are making it
out to be any of you folks over there must be swimming.

Even if the media has blown it out of proportion (they would never do that
of course, Hah), I wish you the best also.

Adeus.

Well, this is a city with ~3 million people (wild guess?). A 6.6 is
stronger than the one that leveled india a couple years ago, killing
15k. LA has one good feature, though. Buildings have strict earthquake
codes, so the damage, while heavy, was much lighter than it would have
been in other cities.

But, to answer your media question. THe media finally lightened up about
4pm CST, but ABC and NBC both devoted their Monday evening news magazines
to the earthquake. It will be top story for about two or three days,
which is helpful for President Clinton, who is undergoing a
trial-by-media for bank fraud.

They have. Its really not as bad as they make it. The only areas that were
affected were parts of the San Fernando Valley, and even then the only
major disaster was that apartament complex (in terms of deaths), the
freeways, and water and power is out in most of the SFValley. Very few
people died considering the strength of the quake and its location. We felt
it pretty strong here (Whittier a suburb of LA), but its not that bad.

Message no. 4 If one of the quake had been stronger, and one of the new skyscrapers had been
fatally damaged....well, it would have been Shattergraves time, I think.
