A city afire. This time, the earthquake struck on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, but for many Southern California residents, it stirred powerful memories of their own disaster.

Hardest hit was the port city of Kobe, where the early morning quake toppled hundreds of buildings, touched off raging fires, collapsed roadways and knocked trains off their tracks.

"I thought it was the end of the world," said 64-year-old Minoru Takasu, whose house fell down around him in Nishinomiya, outside Kobe. The earthquake, with a nary magnitude of 7.2, was the most violent to strike a densely populated area of Japan since 1948, when a quake killed more than 5,000 people in the northwest city of Fukui. "There have been earthquakes as strong as this one, but not in a metropolitan area," said quake expert Masayuki Kikuchi, a professor at Yokohama City University. By evening, national police said 1,311 people were known dead, 1.040 missing and 4,241 injured.

By MARCELLA FLEMING The Indianapolis News Some educators think they may have found a perfect and unusual spot for the soon-to-be-homeless Key School: the Indianapolis Zoo. Prompted by an education professor, Key School Principal Patricia Bolanos and zoo President Jeff Bonner have met for a preliminary discussion about relocating the Indianapolis Public Schools elementary program at the zoo.

Prices of 71 single-family homes that would be built on the amusement park property are estimated at $121,000 and up, according to Kosene.
