go back in and that s made out of cinder block and it has been cracked from top to bottom, and fortunately, the high school and the middle school is about a half mile out of town, and all the kids were able to be evacuated, and all safely gotten home, either the parents picked them up or they rode the school bus, and schools are closed tomorrow. today the seventh day of school. we started back early. now they re going get a little setback until they see if the buildings are structurally sound to get the kids back in. but we re doing good, considering the magnitude of this earthquake, and the plant shut down like it was supposed to. so that was one worry that, one concern we don t have to have. other than that, everyone s cabinets have been emptied. a good time to clean out your cabinets, because nature did it for us. i like the way you think.
putting a positive spin on what had to be a pretty terrifying situation. now, not many of us are used to this. did people just go running out of their houses? was there panic? well, s when it happened, actually, i had no idea what was going on. we have heavy freight trains that come through here quite often and they sort of rumble 9 earth a little bit when they come through. that was my first thought. we ve got a big train coming through, but then it continued. so i went to the back door, and all of my neighbors were standing out in the road. everybody just left their homes and were out in the road. so after i saw everybody here was okay, i ran up town in my vehicle and that s the same thing that was happening up there. all the businesses and the homes, everyone was out on the sidewalks. so i think everyone felt what was happening. give me a little sense of your town, how big is it, and how well prepared are you for what will surely be a task ahead to get cleaned up, and
