There seems to be quite a few there. Probably they are used to them.

And if you know where Kamchatka is.... you probably played RISK.

Seems to me that a 5.3 in Kamchatka happens once a month or so.

... or you were paying attention on Sept. 1, 1983...

I confess, I LOVED Risk! Haven’t played it in a long time... maybe it is time to pull it out again.

Nope... it is also the home of the Russian submarine fleet... nice people there from what I’ve read and pretty much pro-American in their attitudes.

iirc, the event involved russian mig’s, a commercial airliner, and lot’s of dead people. i think it caused a rift in U.S./soviet relations.

I followed a group of yachters this summer as they worked their way up the Inside Passage to Alaska and then across the Aleutian Islands, to Kamchatka, and then down to Japan, where they have left their boats for the winter (they plan to return in the Spring and do S. Korea, China, etc., as they work down to the South Pacific... it was very fascinating to follow their trip... something I could never, ever afford, but the people, themselves, are very down-to-earth and the leader of the group wrote a fascinating blog all along the trip... Amazing what you learn about countries when the governments are stripped out.. and, BTW, I learned a lot about the Aleutians from following their trip, too.

Not really a biggie - one of the most seismologically active areas of the world...

But thanks for the FYI anyways!
