On what news group can I find information about the earthquake in
California? Or in general, information about natural events that
occur?

This group is freely redistributable within USENET. If you're on the internet, for example, and you don't already get biz, you can probably pick up a live feed from any number of different sites who feed quickly. We feed into UUNET on a regular basis, and it feeds many other sites. Regional earthquake stories have also been enabled for that group. If you get a fast feed, you should get detailed news well in advance of the newspapers. Best of luck to bay area folks. This is, of course, free. I know people are hungry for info on this event. -- Brad Templeton, ClariNet Communications Corp. -- Waterloo, Ontario 519/884-7473

This is a great service that Brad is providing, and I certainly don't intend to denigrate it in any way, but I should point out that the prevailing wisdom among NSFNet HQ in Washington, DC, and at the NNTP BOF in June Usenix was that it is not appropriate to send the "biz" group over the NSFNet backbone. Please note the large use of generalities; it's deliberate -- the whole issue is VERY fuzzy, and will remain so for quite some time. /R$ -- Please send comp.sources.unix-related mail to rsalz@uunet.uu.net. Use a domain-based address or give alternate paths, or you may lose out.

The ca.* groups are California groups. ca.earthquakes is where Californians have been known to discuss earthquakes. Also misc.misc has had a bunch of S.F. in the drink noise. If you want real news about the earthquake pick up a L.A. Times or a San Jose Mercury-News. -- David A.
