Baseball watching interrupted
PA Wanganui Wanganui Boys’ College student, Nick Maslin, was sitting down to watch the baseball World Series in San Francisco when the big earthquake struck the city yesterday. Maslin, who is spending a year at Foothills High School in Pleasanton, across the bay from San said the earth-
quake was felt “as a rolling motion.”
“We had just sat down to watch the third game in the series when the house started rocking,” he said.
“When it didn’t stop rocking, we stood under doorways.” Maslin, who is staying with a family whose home is built in hills overlooking said
nothing had been damaged there. “A bit of water slopped out of a fish tank in one room, but that was all,” he said.
“There have been a few aftershocks, nothing major, but observers are saying we should expect more tremors.”
Maslin is in the United States studying and playing basketball for School.
