<VV> Quake.

[Frank DuVal]

45 seconds seems a lot longer than a little bump and grind. There was no 
bump in the school where I was running a voting precinct, but the was 45 
seconds of grinding. We gathered up the important machines and scrambled 
to the parking lot. After a while (they were waiting to check the 
building for defects) we started voting in the parking lot. Never turned 
a voter away. The "official" inspectors (fire dept, etc) were so busy at 
other locations the school staff did their own walk through and said it 
was safe so we could go back in. The middle school a mile away was 
damaged and the voting had to continue in the parking lot for the rest 
of the day (7PM close here).

Once I got home (9PM) I saw we had cracks in the brick work on the 
garage side and front along th ebay window. The bay window area cracks I 
can put my hand into! I shall see how bad it is in the morning. Need to 
plug holes before rain on Thursday....

No visible cracks in foundation wall from the basement side. Lots of 
weird drywall joint compound failures along the taped corners. Only one 
drywall crack in mid wall. Lots of broken glassware inside the house.

Downtown Fredericksburg has been evacuated due to natural gas leak into 
sewer system.

Hey, this is taking valuable time away from Corvair repair.

I haven't ventured to the Corvair garage yet... Been up since 4 AM 
yesterday.
