There were amazing scenes of panic, the populace fleeing to the seashore and the open country. No fatalities have been reported, but there has been serious property damage. The shocks occurred between two o’clock in the afternoon and five o’clock in the morning. During the evening the city was choked with fugitives. The audiences forced their way out of the theatres. The terror spread to the hospitals, where patients strove to gain their freedom.
