8.0 earthquake here. Probably shook 3 minutes!

[JockoManning]

LOL. Qx passes along a hello and a salute to you.

We hope you and family are well.

I was wondering if there were any fans of the obscure up tonight.

(I just posted that song on FB and thought some here might have seen it.)

Both Qx’s upper and lower plates are out. Does that count?

Every time I see you post, I think of hedge apples.

Stop that.

:D

[JockoManning]

Does anyone have a link to the bouy page?

[JockoManning]

Would that be with or without hedonism being subdued?

[Mount Athos]

here’s one closer to the quake, south of kodiak

It shook us pretty good here in the valley, easily over two minutes long. At one point as it was starting to build I was thinking about getting out of the house! We never did feel an aftershock if there was one…

[Reno89519]

Last time I was in Seward was surprised at the condos right up at the water edge. I remember in the 70s seeing all the debris from the 64 quake.

8.2 off the coast.....33 foot wave just measure by a buoy...

[JockoManning]

Thanks.

[Reno89519]

Interesting. Mom in Sitka says no sirens yet even though active warning.

[Mount Athos]

Hey i’m looking at that buoy page, maybe I’m misreading it but it seems to show a big anomoly..

“Very steep” which none of the recent history shows, and two and a half feet higher wave height than recent history.

Check it out:
Significant Wave Height (WVHT): 11.8 ft
5-day plot - Wave Steepness Wave Steepness (STEEPNESS): VERY_STEEP

[JockoManning]

Hmmmmm That could mess up more than a few sand castles!

May God have mercy.

Buoy alarms all along Aleutian trench and down the kuril kamchatka trench as far as Japan.

[JockoManning]

Thanks. I gave up trying to find a wider view of more bouy’s. I’ll try again.
