O.C. mostly back to normal after quake, but headaches remain --- North Orange County on Saturday took stock of the damage from Friday’s 5.1 shaker, with municipal workers checking cracked buildings, broken water mains and gas leaks that forced dozens of residents from their homes. -- A night of more than 100 aftershocks led to a morning of mopping up, as residents and businesses waded through broken glass and other fallen debris. -- In Fullerton, at least 73 people were displaced, but none of them went to the Red Cross shelter set up in La Habra, said Tom Schultz, deputy chief of operations for the fire department. -- Twenty apartments on Fullerton’s Associated Road and six homes in other areas of the city were red-tagged. -- Cindy Elliott, a 30-year-old single mom who lives with her 3-year-old son, voluntarily left her home in the Camden Parkside apartments in the 2700 block of Associated Road. --- Friday’s shocker sent streams gushing down major roadways from broken water mains in Fullerton. -- A water-main break at Rosecrans Avenue and Gilbert Street in Fullerton closed Gilbert in both directions at the intersection, according to the Fullerton Police Department. -- Other north Orange County communities were dealing with evacuation and service interruptions. - More, OCRegiser, at: http://www.ocregister.com/articles/saturday-607514-quake-water.html
