Downpour slows Yugoslav quake relief efforts
Rain, fog, and landslides hindered relief deliveries to the Adriatic quake zone from Dubrovnik to the Albanian border. About 102 died and 1,000+ were injured as more than 70 percent of structures collapsed. Bar, with 32,000 residents, suffered the worst damage and aid flights were hampered by weather. Officials in Belgrade met to coordinate response to Yugoslavia's worst quake in 75 years.
