I opened up Firefox this evening to a severe weather alert from ForecastFox…which surprised me, given that it’s lovely weather: a bit of clouds, maybe some rain later, but nothing I’d call *severe*! So of course I clicked on it, to get a _tsunami_ warning.
A 7.4 earthquake near Eureka, so tsunami warnings all up the coast, although it seems remote that they’d get down to this end of the water. I took a look at Google News: nothing; CNN: nothing.
Then off to the USGS…where I saw more about “the California quake”:http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqinthenews/2005/usziae/ (7.0 according to them), plus “an Alaskan quake of a similar size”:http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqinthenews/2005/uszhcb/ just a few hours earlier. On top of the Chilean quake yesterday…I’m not usually prone towards apocalyptic thinking, but that is a little distressing.
I’m just going to hold a little tighter to my chair the next day or two….
There was also this weekend an earthquake in Southern Cal out in the destrt which we felt in LA. So there has been much erth moving.
Don’t worry Be happy
