Urgent Dudley Earthquake Appeal by Andy
At 00:54 on Monday 23 September an earthquake measuring 4.8 on the Richter
scale hit Dudley, UK causing untold disruption and distress -
- Many were woken well before their giro arrived.
- Several priceless collections of mementos from the Balearics and
Spanish costas were damaged
- Three areas of historic and scientifically significant litter were
disturbed.
- Thousands are confused and bewildered, trying to come to terms with the
fact that something interesting has
happened in Dudley.
One resident, Donna-Marie Dutton, a 17 year old mother-of-three said..."It
was such a shock, little
Chantal-Leanne came running into my bedroom crying.
My youngest two, Tyler-Morgan and Megan-Storm slept through it. I was
still shaking when I was watching Trisha the
next morning."
Apparently though, looting did carry on as normal.
The British Red Cross have so far managed to ship 4000 crates of Sunny
Delight to the area, to help the stricken masses.
Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble and have found large
quantities of personal belongings including benefit
books and jewellery from Elizabeth Duke at Argos.
