,,, sheik, rat-al and Rauol BUMP.
Nope. Balrog's fault.
Congrats Shaggy, you and the family stay well.
Wow, February all ready. Around the corner too! Hope its a Valentine birth, as the baby eel will have something in common with the Republican Warrior Princess. As for the sports car, bring the baby along! He or she will come to appreciate a fine ride in the hills. Besides, a good car ride is always a great way to put a baby to sleep.
Will you accept a bowl of 7 day old Jello?
,,, many thanx NP. I'll keep y'all updated.
Jeepers! The hubby and I are heading to NZ for 6 weeks in Jan/Feb. Keep the Islands afloat shag....our tickets are non-refundable!
If I knew we were getting one on the New Madrid Fault Line in Mid Missouri, I would have fastened the seatbelt and put on the helmet! But then about 20 years ago we had the imfamous Dr. Brown tell us the "BIG ONE" was coming and the area spent billions getting prep for everything that didn't happen.
Put that eel out it's misery, grab it put it on the barbie.
Oops, was that PC? Whatever, don't put pink panties on its head.
Glad u r ok.
,,, you're right! If not, my desk job would do it.
,,, I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but was it made with water from California?
,,, most of us only get to dream of the big one and it ends up being an earthquake. What can you do?!!
,,, what a great label! Is the beer as good?
,,, here's a micro brewery that makes a good range in NZ.
Also - your hypothetical hotel scenario - great and typical Kiwi sense of humor, LOL!
Like all Californians I've been through some 5.5 and up quakes here. There were only about two times when a quake under 5.5 quake shook me more than the greater ones.
That's when I figured it was more about being near the epicenter, and the motion and length of time for the quake rather than the magnitude of the jolt which mattered. I used to think quakes were rather fun until a rather jolting one changed my attitude.
When you find yourself running outside in your skivvies and don't notice it until a neighbor points and laughs, when your large refrigerator walks across a room, or when your large television goes airborne, all bets are off, or as a neighbor a few blocks away scrawled on their apartment building after the Northridge quake: "The fat lady has sung."
From it's description:
Kilt-Lifter ® Scottish Amber
Our Flagship ale. This is an ale made in the tradition of the great strong ales of Scotland. Amber colored, malty sweet with underlying note of smokiness. The smoky flavors come from Peat-Smoked Malt ( used in making of Scotch Whiskey. ) Our Kilt-Lifter ® Scottish Amber has an alcohol content of approximately 6.2% by volume, an amber tone and a kiss of English Kent Golding hops.
I always keep a few in the fridge, especially for my out of town guests :)
Dang! Did you feel anything? According to the article you were within range.
Evidence Of Tunguska-Type Impacts Over The Pacific Basin Around 1178 (New Zealand)
Hmmm...sounds like I'll have to be on a mission to find this place once I get down there...someday!
It seems odd because a tsunami can take several hours to hit a location. The threat of a tsunami is not always dependent upon the size of the quake.
Hawaii has experienced terrible destruction from tsunamis. It's usually from the rising water, or the inundation which causes destruction. Yet just one large wave breaking over the shore would be and has been terribly destructive.
