    1) The basic rule of writing leads is to start with the most important info ... so start with the earthquake, not the U.S. Geological Survey. Also, you have the exact time it hit, so use that info.

    2) Same problem here: I have to wade through a whole lot of "where" information before I get to "what" happened. Start with what happened ... and recheck the spelling of that road.

    7/10 - please revise
