Start Argument

Whether FL Centre had two earth
quakcS or three late yesterday after
noon is n matter that is open for
argument. but the general opinion
seems to be that there were three
shocks.
One was noted about }: II and was
rather mild. The second one, COM
ing half an hour later. was Il fright
smart shake as one resident term
ed it. Cnquc>tiomably it was severe
enough to cause windows to rattle.
doors to slam, and folks to wonder
just what they should do.
Still third 'shimmy' came
about 6:20. Opinion again differs.
some saving it was not as severe as
the one that arrived 1T 5:4j and
other asserting that it was much
stronger.
None of the disturbances were Sc
we're enough to cause any damage
and they appear to have Il tendency
to clear out the atmosphere which
had been murky throughout the day.
