Says 20km deep and was out in the ocean... Bad news... Prayers up!

Just got us out of bed, and we are several hundred miles north of it, a real shaker. Tsunami? Anybody know?

Big, looking up the Tsunami warning as I have family in two places in its path.

That earthquake probably messed up some otherwise healthy Alaskan King Crab.

Not to minimize this event, but the Western Pacific side of the ring of fire has been ominously quiet for the past 3-4 days. On the other hand, the Eastern Pacific side has been getting a WHOLE lot of action it seems.

I doubt that Mayon Volcano’s eruption is relieving enough stress to account for all of WestPac’s slumber.

A verrrry interesting start to the year geologically, astrologically, and politically.

Peter, Paul and Mary had a song ‘Very Last Day” during my impressionable youth.

One of the lines that stuck in (perhaps was seared into???) my memory was:

“God said a fire, not a flood, next time”

Friends in Soldotna were rudely awakened, but no damage.

Alaska Ping.

Stilling gathering information on what happened.

Stay alert everyone on the Pacific coast.

This all started with a volcano erupting in the Philippines, then a volcano erupted in Japan, and now the Kodiak area Alaska earthquake. This is going clockwise around the Pacific Rim...

Hopefully, the earthquake and volcanic eruptions will be the end of this.

Things have been so bad that a relative of mine was in the middle of the Thomas fire (California) but did not have anything to worry about because a previous fire burned all the brush/grass before the Thomas fire.

I think we have had enough hurricanes, fires, and now earthquakes for a while.
