[winoneforthegipper]

scratch that ladies it must have been the Jan Mayen quake....!

I finally have power and Internet back. Isaac took out a large tree in my yard along with the fence, power, and Internet cabling. But I had my generator, fuel, food, water and other essentials and several good books. ;)

Thank you Central Louisiana Power Crews! It is amazing what the American people can accomplish with government not standing in the way.

Thanks for the ping. I agree the activity is above normal. I hope folks have made at least basic preparations in case of a major quake somewhere along the fault line. At least with a hurricane you have time to prepare before it hits.

Welcome back to connectiveland!

Redoubt is stirring todays as well much to keep an eye on lately...

And glad to know you weathered his wears!

[machogirl]

glad you are okay!

[Errant]

Thank you both! It's great to be back in the information age, battling overload. ;)

Half of Louisiana is without power. For a Cat-1 storm, it created a lot of damage. NOAA might need to consider additional criteria besides wind speed in determining how dangerous these storms could be.
