Glad you are all ok, and hoping it stays that way. This thing reverberated most of the coastal plate lines of west coast US and Canada and on other side of Pacific down to Japan.

Friends of mine in Soldotna got a good shaking, but no damage. She said the adrenaline was really pumping — that old “fight or flight” reaction to danger.

The coasters used that phrase in their song “Little Egypt”.

Supposedly the text of her tattoo.

Evidently a phrase of multiple utilities.

It hit my Polaroid instantly.

Alas, it took me a while to get up to speed on these developments.

Generally a tsunami is generated by earthquakes that also trigger a significant displacement of material.

There are numerous other variables and possible conditions that could generate a tsunami, but it helped me in my geologic studies through college to visualize the conditions for a tsunami as being similar to a giant domino in the ocean which suddenly falls/drops and consequently pushes away massive amounts of water in the process.

If the domino drop is big enough and that push of water is directed out radially, that wave form (tsunami) will continue until it either dissipates its energy gradually (over time and distance) or quickly through collision.

The certainty of a tsunami is virtually impossible to predict. Imagine that same domino balanced precariously on an oceanic cliff edge, even a small quake could trigger a massive fall. On the flip side, a massive earthquake may not cause any significant domino movement.

Issuing warnings, estimating threat timing, and monitoring surface changes are the best we can really do to deal with the tsunami risk after a significant geologic event like this quake.

According to CNN (I know, I know) the Tsunami warning has been cancelled as of 42 minutes ago.

Ah yes; remember it well. A fave of my 1961 summer. That’s why I inserted the phrase “(she) doesn’t dance there anymore. Too busy...”

I thought that would’ve let you know that I’m hip.

Need to put a cell phone signal booster in at your mom’s house. Google it.

Long, slow, gentle rolling in east Anchorage.

All is well.....everything hanging was swaying to and fro, but it was just a long slow roll at my house in Anchorage.
