Treasure Hunt Tycoon
Chapter 1104: Expansion (3/5)
[92zw] The earthquake came suddenly and ended quickly. After ten seconds, the ground's shaking stopped.
A few Victoria's children hugged with Amou. Ameng was scared for the first time, and narrowed his neck and hid in Ivana's arms, his eyes were terrified.
Li Du looked at his mobile phone, and his mobile phone still had signals. He was relieved, which proved that the earthquake had little impact.
Wolf brother instructed everyone to rush to the open area of the lawn and said, "If you feel a shock again, immediately get down and grab the hands of the people around you ..."
He instructed Da'ao and Godzilla to clean up the bucket: "See if there is no water, fill the bucket and bathtub with water. If there is an aftershock, the water will be cut off."
Li Du called the government's public service department, but the call could not be reached, and he had been busy.
The sirens of ambulances and fire trucks rang in the distance. There was a town to the west of their location, and it appeared that there were casualties and property losses in the town.
The quality of the construction of their villa was very high, and the walls were not dropped. It was just that after the transverse waves appeared, some of the shelves in the house fell down and the things on them fell down.
Hans went online and shook his head again and again: "The network is a bit out of order. I can't get on the 4G network. The signal is very poor."
Li Du thought for a while, and then called JP Morgan's exclusive customer service: "Hello, I want to ask about Phoenix, has it just happened?"
The other party quickly replied: "Yes, Mr. Li, according to the news we just received, an earthquake of magnitude 6.0 on the Richter scale occurred in the desert area of southern Arizona. zone……"
JP Morgan's service quality did not say that the customer service informed Li Du briefly and clearly what they knew.
The damage caused by this earthquake should not be great. The epicenter was in the desert. They were only affected here.
The customer service introduced the earthquake-related situation they knew and gave Li Du a quick and concise introduction to some earthquake knowledge.
This includes Arizona's geology, local earthquake causes, hazards, and assessment methods, some earthquake response practices, and more.
The customer service also transferred him to the phone, and they temporarily contacted a local seismology expert who would answer Li Du's doubts and appease him.
The other party first asked Li Du's area and housing situation. After knowing the location of his villa, the earthquake expert said that their house was okay.
Li Du did not pay special attention to this, this very solid-looking villa turned out not to be a masonry structure, but a wooden structure. This kind of house is more resistant to earthquakes.
He told Li Du the news he got, let him not panic, stay outside, don't rush to drive away from here, wait for the government to make further arrangements, and if he has news, he will notify Li Du specifically.
This expert is so responsible, not because of his kindness, but because he knows that Li Du has great energy and wants to take this opportunity to get involved with him.
Like the Wolf brother, the experts asked Li Du to quickly store water.
After each earthquake, the most serious problem for residents' lives is drinking water. Central Arizona has been short of water since ancient times, and water resources were drawn from the California Reservoir, the Colorado River, and the groundwater.
After the earthquake, no matter how much damage is caused to the water pipe, in order to reduce the risk, the water plant will shut down the water supply for maintenance.
So they have to pay attention to water storage.
After this earthquake, there were several aftershocks later, the magnitude was much smaller, but there was a sense of earthquake, and the impact on the building was small.
However, Li Du did not collect much water resources, and the water pipe may have problems at the beginning. Godzilla only stored a bucket of water, and there was no water flowing out of the water pipe.
Fortunately for them, the draught problem is not serious, there is a small river in front of the villa.
Li Du and Hans went to the river and took a look. The earthquake also affected the river. This clear river disappeared and the water became turbid.
Brother Wolf came and followed and said, "No problem, as long as there is water."
He took a shovel and dug a pit in the sand near the river. Da Iwan cooperated with him to make a small diversion channel, and the river water flowed out.
At the two openings of the diversion canal, the wolf was intercepted with gauze to screen out algae, garbage and floating matter in the river.
In this way, the water that finally flows into the bunker is relatively clear, at least not as muddy and dirty as the river water.
The wolf wiped his sweat and said, "Let's carry water to our home and let the puddle settle itself first. Take only one-fourth of the water above, and keep the bottom below."
The telephone signal did not improve, but gradually became worse.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, another strong earthquake appeared, the house shook again, and some glass was shattered.
Hans kept calling and finally got through. He didn't know who to call. He put down his face and looked dignified, saying, "Tonight we will be in the yard tonight, and we will leave here tomorrow and head north."
"What's wrong?" Li Du asked.
Hans said: "There will be more severe earthquakes later, this is just a preview of a major earthquake."
Li Dudao: "Don't scare me ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Arizona is not in the earthquake zone, how can there be a big earthquake?"
"California is also not in the earthquake zone. Did you forget the damage caused by the 1994 earthquake? Oh, you were in China in 1994," Hans countered.
On January 17, 1994, a magnitude 6.6 earthquake struck 35 kilometers northwest of Los Angeles.
This is a moderate to strong earthquake with amazing economic losses, which killed 62 people, injured more than 9,000 people, made 25,000 homeless, destroyed more than 2,500 buildings and severely damaged about 4,000.)
In addition, several highways were broken in several places, some overpasses collapsed, and 11 main roads leading to downtown Los Angeles and other areas were forced to close.
At that time, the earthquake caused power outages and water outages in most of the surrounding areas. About 40,000 homes were cut off, and 52,000 households were cut off. This was a serious disaster.
After busy with the situation at home, Sophie wanted to go to the town next door to see if there were any wounded people who needed help. She was the most useful place for surgeons at this time.
Li Du stopped her and said firmly: "During the earthquake, it was too chaotic. Don't go. We paid so many taxes to the government. These tasks should be the responsibility of the government."
After the quake, the state of public security was very bad.
Sophie is also very stubborn in this regard. She held the cross hanging on her chest and said firmly: "This is my devotion, dear, if I give up my duties because of fear, God will not forgive me, nor will I Forgive myself, I can no longer look directly at the scalpel. "
In this case, what else can Li Du say? He waved his hands and asked Godzilla and Wolf to protect Sophie. These are his two strongest bodyguards.
At this point he realized that his security force was not strong enough and he needed to recruit more bodyguards. [Love Chinese]
