Quakes.
Twin earthquakes rock communities in the Mojave Desert, damaging a number of homes, buildings, and roads, injuring some residents, and forcing many to take shelter in local parks and churches as aftershocks continue rocking the disaster area. Neighbors whose homes were damaged talk about their fears, their children trauma, their losses, their lack of home insurance, their thoughts about accessing emergency aid, and their plans for the future.
Guests: Rubén Tapia, Special Envoy, Ridgecrest, CA; (Audio Recordings) Erika, Mexican Immigrant, Hotel Worker; Flavio y Ninfa Cásares, Mobile Home Owners Without Insurance; Comadres Adriana Letford and Sandra Chapman, Members of Victory Missionary Baptist Church; Maria and Samuel Mesa, Owners of House that Burned Down; Kimberly Raymundo and her father Luis, Long-Term Care Worker; Peggy Breeden, Mayor, Ridgecrest, CA.
