"Keep me in the loop." Arthur rang off and went back to studying the recent siesmic report. He noted with some satisfaction the intensity of the after shocks seemed to be fading and were fewer and farther between since the last report two hours ago. Well, that was some good news. Maybe now he could catch some sleep. The worst was over.~*~Mrs Kildane, Arthur's mother, was a seasoned survivor of earthquakes.
