<02:46PM APNews> 
<02:46PM APNews>    Faster than a 9600-baud modem, the global computer network buzzed into action after the ground stopped shaking Monday in Southern California. And the system held up, even though the quake knocked out at least one main link.
<02:46PM APNews>    Within 20 minutes of the predawn earthquake, electronic messages flew on the Internet as computer users in the quake area described the destruction and people elsewhere asked about the fate of loved ones.
<02:47PM APNews>    One man typed simply: "It was a hell of a ride."
<02:47PM APNews> 
<02:47PM APNews>    A plea from Tobias Koehler in Denmark went out shortly after the quake hit.
<02:47PM APNews> 
<02:47PM APNews>    "Hi there. Is everything OK in Ventura, California? My sister just went there, she is in California for the first time."

<02:50PM cavalier> hehe I remember that..
<02:51PM APNews> The "Earthquake" channel quickly became the designated news channel. A secondary chat was set up, called "QuakeChat," for people to discuss what was happening.

<02:59PM Corax> +in relation to the quake and the damage
<02:59PM Newswire> Many victims of the Southern California earthquake may
<02:59PM Taner> kHz - not MHz
<02:59PM Newswire> face staggering repair bills since they lack insurance that will pay
<02:59PM Newswire> for fixing their homes.
<02:59PM Newswire>   People will be able to claim fire damage under standard homeowner
<02:59PM Newswire> policies, insurance experts said. But many residents will not be
<02:59PM Newswire> covered if their homes collapsed or had other structural damage due to
<02:59PM Newswire> the quake.
<02:59PM Newswire>   Even those who bought special earthquake insurance may face steep
<02:59PM Newswire> bills, because earthquake insurance policies typically require
<03:00PM Newswire> customers to cover 5% to 10% of the damage themselves.
<03:00PM Newswire>   Therefore, a couple with a $150,000 home, and quake insurance, might
<03:00PM Newswire> have to pay for the first $15,000 of damage out of their own pockets.
<03:00PM Newswire>   ''I think there's quite a number of people who don't have the
<03:00PM Newswire> coverage,'' said Rock Jenkins, a spokesman for State Farm Insurance,
<03:00PM Newswire> the biggest provider of homeowners' insurance in California.
<03:00PM Newswire>   The Insurance Information Institute estimates that 25% of all
<03:00PM Taner> just kidding..
<03:00PM Newswire> California homeowners have earthquake coverage. However, the percentage
<03:00PM Newswire> in the area struck by today's quake is more like 40%, since it's a

<03:00PM Newswire> Federation of California.

<03:28PM Newswire> The major earthquake that

<03:28PM Newswire> -- including 14 in a single apartment complex -- and ignited
<03:28PM Newswire> more than a 100 fires in a wave of destructive fury.

<03:28PM Newswire> With all the damage, it was not "the big one" -- the major
<03:28PM Newswire> quake that Los Angeles residents have been told to expect
<03:28PM Newswire> because the region straddles the San Andreas and other faults.
<03:28PM Newswire>     But it was the most devastating quake in terms of damage
<03:28PM Newswire> and casualties to hit the United States since the San Francisco

<03:28PM Newswire> ordered the National Guard to be ready to help in the emergency.
