Kobe Earthquake Toll and Aftermath Shatter Confidence
Emergency shelters housed about 310000 people as homes were destroyed or damaged and the death toll reached 4431 making it the deadliest quake since 1923. By evening 656 were missing and more than 23600 injured while 41000 buildings were damaged or destroyed. An aftershock of 3.6 struck Kobe as seismologists noted its strength among hundreds since Tuesday’s 7.2 quake. Utilities struggled with outages as 110000 households lacked electricity and nearly 850000 lacked natural gas. Kansai Electric Power Co aimed to restore service in days but gas lines could take a month to repair. The disaster tested Japan’s confidence in its technology to withstand nature. A Frederick News-Post article notes County Commissioner David Gray missed a Builders Association meeting while attending Gov. Glendening’s inauguration.
