English prepositions

[Lost_Soul]

Hi, everyone !

I've done an english exercise and there is no answer to it in the book, so would you be so kind as to check it, please

(the things to be checked are in bold)

People who live in California have every reason to be afraid of earthquakes. No one has ever forgotten an earthquake that destroyed San Franciso in 1906. In May, 1988, the people of Los Angeles panicked. According to a prophecy made in the 16th century by a prophet called Nostradamus, the city would be destroyed early in 1988. During this panik, people didnt send their children to school and people didnt go to work. No one stayed at home either. The airlines did great business carrying people who fled from their doomed city. Which is more puzzling: Hos Nostradamus knew that a city which didnt even exist in his time would be destroyed in the 20th century, or the behaviour of the people who believed the prophecy?

Many thanks in advance

Hi LS,

Just my two cents:
I found only 'in' to be incorrect in the following sentence and changed it to:
On May, 1988...

P.S. There are some typos in the text, but I suppose you were simply in a hurry.
