I live in the great Midwest, not too far from the tremor that shook the midwest a few months ago. News reports say no major damage and no injuries. They said that here too, until they found out there really was quite a bit of damage. No real injuries though. Hope that is true in California as well. What do you have in your earthquake kit besides the obvious water and flashlights?
Besides water and flashlight, an earthquake kit contains batteries, radio, canned food, can opener, medication, first aide kit, dog food (cannot forget the pets), and tennis shoes.
Yes, there was damage, but it appears minimal (items falling off shelves; bricks crumbling off buildings, and water pipes breaking). The local news has not reported any injuries.
