The earthquake caused six injuries and two deaths after the McHenry's Auto Supply Shop on  2342 Plum St   partially collapsed. Names have not yet been released.

A Very Bad Encounter She opened her bedroom door, and to her horror a giant foot wiggled it's toes through her window. Avery shuddered as the yellow nails sickled and flexed toward her. She slammed the door and raced downstairs to escape through the back door. As she made her way down the carpeted steps of her stairs, her foot landed ever so slightly on the tail of her cat. With a deep fury, Ellie Belly flew through the air and knocked Avery down the stairs. For a slight moment, fear struck through Avery as her whole world went black. She played there for what felt like hours before a dense object struck her in the back of the head. As she slowly regained consciousness, she looked down at a Chaco laying next to her.

Avery rolls her eyes so hard her head hurts, but that might just be from the shoe. She limps h...

The man, a college professor named  John Jacob Jingleheimer-Smith , suffered from a serious head injury and was unable to walk or talk at the scene. "It was horrible," said wife  Melba. "He looked so beaten up. My heart  couldn't take looking at his sweet little face being all bloodied-up like that." 13 year old student Roger Clementine was treated at the hospital for minor cuts to the face. "I would've never expected my day would end like this. This is the scariest thing I've ever been through," said Clementine. Melba only suffered a bloody nose, but was more concerned about her unconscious husband. "It's so unfair. My sweetie is suffering while all I have are minor bumps and bruises. I was the one who made him go out today! I've never felt so miserable,...
