Most often is my building is just fine in the loma prieta earthquake so everything is fine. Is that true . Loma prieta was different. The ground acceleration here was quite moderate and the duration was moderate. So anyone that believes they survived a big earthquake and their building has been tested is sadly mistaken.

Second. Facebook and twitter theres 65 clicks. Most of those were from twitter. Seems like the twitter poster got out a lot more and retweeted with our partner agencies. Is that a good amount or is that not a good amount . Its difficult to kind of in the abstract know how many clicks you expected or Something Like that.

Compared to other things were doing its not terrible, but if we want an impact weve got to drive those numbers up. To your original question, weve never paid for additional promotion for facebook or twitter. There are things we can do without putting money out and we should and will be doing those things. But, yeah, its obviously were in a starting point. We need to build those numbers.
