PLEASE SHUT OFF UUCP TO BAY AREA AND MAYBE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA.
There was a major earthquake in the Bay Area last night, with short-term
power disruption and unknown long-term problems.  Some buildings
have collapsed or burned.  Richter 7.0.  People are being asked to
stay away from work until things are cleared up, so don't expect
anything to be fixed for a while.  Please don't telephone anyone in
the area for a few days.
