Jamal: Did you feel that?



Keisha: Was that an earthquake?



Jamal: Yes, I think so. Turn on the news.



Newscaster: “Reports are coming in about an earthquake that occurred at 4:35 p.m. in the downtown area. We spoke 1 with a seismologist at the Earthquake Center and learned that the earthquake had a magnitude 2 of 3.2 on the Richter scale. The epicenter was near downtown, along one of the major faults, and the seismologist warns that there will be some aftershocks.”



Keisha: Phew! I’m glad the earthquake wasn’t a high-intensity one. I wish they could predict more accurately 3 when those earthquakes are going to happen.



Jamal: Yeah, me, too. I’ve looked around the house and don’t see any damage, though. I guess our house won’t be declared a disaster area.



Keisha: Don’t be too sure. Considering the mess you’ve made in kitchen, it could easily be called a disaster area.



Jamal: In that case, will you be sending aid? I think I’m too tired to do the dishes.



Keisha: You won’t be getting any aid from me. If you’re hoping for a relief effort, you’d better ask the UN.
