Bellringer 8-25-14

1) Around 3:20 a magnitude 6.0 earthquake hit. They said it was the worst temblor to shake the Bay area in 25 years. The after effects could cost up to 100 million dollars. During this massive earthquake 172 people were treated in the hospital, and were also in critical condition. They said that a lot of the downtown businesses will be back up and running. Not many people were hurt in the business and should be able to get it back started. Office of emergency services said that there were 90 to 100 homes and building that were said to be deemed not habitable, but the people in the city are trying to do there best to get things started again. 


2) Some early reports suggested the quake was perhaps provoked by the Franklin Fault, a crack that was thought to be dominate for 1.6 million years.
