Narrative

Following a 5.8 earthquake at 1:51PM the dry plant had a lot of dust fall from the rafters & visibility was low. EE was hurrying down a flight of stairs in the excitement & low visibility from the dust, he missed a step & when his foot hit the floor he felt a slight pain in his back. At home his back worsened & he was taken to the doctor & diagnosed with a back sprain.
