7.0 Earthquake in Alaska
#5
Just tried to call friends in Anch.
Apparently, phone service is out.
Call can't go through.
I'll try an email.
Even if it can't go through, it should sit there until they can check.

Sounds like they might have had a hard time eating their jello this morning.

Watching the news link above, all the references to other quakes were to California quakes.
Not once was the '64 quake mentioned.
It was even stronger, 9.0 I believe, and tore Anch. up much more, as well as much of the South Central region.

Makes me glad I'm in Paradise where we only have lava flows to worry about.
Yeah, yeah, I know, HI gets EQs too.
But, in 5 years, I've only felt one REAL EQ, the recent 6.1.
Even then, it wasn't all that bad, just the most noticeable I've felt since coming here.

If Kim was Anchorage's mayor He'd probably put a mandatory evacuation out for the entire municipality.

EDIT:
Only a few weeks ago I read:


The Great Quake: How the Biggest Earthquake in North America Changed Our Understanding of the Planet - Henry Fountain

About the '64 quake.

Was a Democrat until gun control became a knee jerk, then a Republican until the crazies took over, back to being a nonpartisan again.
This time, I can no longer participate in the primary.
