            Tabulated summaries 
            above, provide the number of reports per intensity level. For large 
            cities, the last two digits of the postal code is provided in 
            parenthesis. Reports from within large cities that were sent in 
            without postal codes and/or other area details are clubbed in the row "F" and are not displayed on the felt intensity map. 
            Due to privacy concerns, original felt reports will not be made 
            available to third parties.  |
