The distance were and teh installations were duplicated to produce varying degrees of damage. Underground installations were practically undamaged with the exception that ventilator pipes from a vault at 1470 ft were sheared off at ground level. Service piping, regulators and meters to buildings, and hosue piping in buildings were undamaged. Appliances in buildings were practically undamaged, and operative, with the exception of those in two houses which were either badly damaged or inaccessible due to collapse of the houses."
