Earthquake pummels Nicaragua
MANAGUA, Nicaragua — A strong earthquake in the Pacific yesterday triggered tidal waves that imputed Nicaragua's western coast, killing at least 14 people and leaving at least two dozen missing.
The Associated Press
The quake measured 7.0 on the Richter scale, according to the National Earthquake Information Center in Golden, Colo. It hit at 6:16 p.m. and had its epicenter 75 miles southwest of Managua.
A survivor said two small islands off the coast of Corinto, about 50 miles northwest of Managua, were swept by 6-foot waves that washed away at least 20 houses and left an undetermined number of people missing.
The Red Cross said it counted at least 14 people dead in various communities and at least 25 people were missing, including 12 fishermen lost at sea. It said more than 22 people were seriously injured.
"Imanaged to get out in my boat. But
In Puerto Sandino, about 40 miles from the capital, a 5-foot tidal surge threw ship-containers and vehicles and damaged a dock.
Alejandro Morales, an earthquake specialist at the Institute of Earth Studies, said the tremor was one of the strongest in the country in 20 years.
The quake and two aftershocks apparently set off huge waves that washed over dozens of communities along the coast from San Juan del Sur,
a city on the border with Costa Rica, to Corinto.
The Red Cross said hundreds of people were evacuated.
Pineda, who fled the island of Maderas Negras to Corinto in a small boat, said Maderas Negras and another small island, Monte Rolo, were washed over by one of the waves.
Authorities, fearing looting, put police on alert up and down the coast.
fled to higher ground. The Red Cross and other relief agencies were preparing to send tents and other help.
The director of the state telecommunications and postal service, Pablo Vigil, said that the tidal surge had receded and that authorities were trying to assist victims.
Pineda said at least 20 houses, most built of reed and thatch, were destroyed on Maderas Negras. He said many people were missing there, but could not estimate how many.
State radio said the sea had washed about 900 yards inland at Masachapa, a beach resort of about 2,000 people south of the capital. It reported at least 12 fishermen missing there.
Radio Noticias, a private station,
said many people from Maschapa
Telephone communications with the afflicted areas were interrupted, and reports were sketchy.
The Red Cross said it evacuated people from the beachfront communities of Huehuelo, Casares and La Junta, about 50 miles southwest of the capital.
Bush and Clinton: Start your engines
The quake was felt strongly in Managua, but there were no immediate reports of damage in the capital.
The Associated Press
In the scramble to woo this year's crucial "average guy" voter, candidates are practically bumping into each other at the speedways.
COLUMBIA, S.C. — Stock car fans long for the roar of the engine, the smell of burned rubber, the flutter of the checkered flag. This year, whether they like it or not, they are also getting the presidential campaign.
"The NASCAR crowd is the pure definition of the Bubba vote," said Claibourne Darden, an Atlanta pollster who once worked for the Atlanta Motor Speedway. "It's the middle of the middle class, the blue collar, the lower-white collar workers. They are the ones who elect the president."
This weekend 95,000 people are expected to watch the Southern 500 in Darlington, S.C. And it is likely Vice President Dan Quavale will lead the kickoff parade on Saturday, while Democrat Bill Clinton will serve as grand marshal for the main race on Sunday.
President Bush opened the Pepsi 400 in Daytona Beach, Fla., in early July, and Quayle started the Die-Hard 500 in Talladega, Ala., later that month.
"If you got all the grease out from under the finger nails of all of them, you probably couldn't fill up a small-size thumb." Darden said of this year's candidates, scions of family fortunes or Ivy League educations or both. "But Clinton, Gore, even Quayle, certainly Bush, ought to be at ease."
The size of the crowd may be the big reason the races have become a popular stopping point for politicians.
"You're talking about 3.3 million coming to the race tracks (a year), and another 200 million watch on television. That's a lot of folks," said Chip Williams, a representative for Daytona-based NASCAR.
Companies making consumer products figured that out a long time ago. Dozens of them use the races and the cars themselves to market their wares.
Doug Jennings, a democratic state legislator who frequently drives the pace car at Darlington, said, "In this day and age, they're marketing a candidate just like Tide is marketing a product on the car."
Williams said that NASCAR's base was the all-important South, where Democrats hoped to break the Republican lock in presidential elections. The sport also has gained popularity in key electoral states like Michigan and California.
"This is what basic America does for entertainment," said Warren Tompkins, a Bush aide from South Carolina directing the campaign in the South. "That's what they like. Stock car racing, bowling, that's what a lot of us average guys like to do when we get time."
