Earth burp coming

[Reed]

sources say a magnitude 7.5 perhaps a 8.0 quake will hit central Alaska within .30 minutes.

Hang on to your shorts. That's a biggie.

 

[Reed]

Should add this:

63.72N 147.70W

That's pretty specific. Call everyone now 'cause it's a slipper (quick and short).

OK, its been an hour. Anything happen yet?

 

[treeclimber165]

I caught a blurb on the TV. All I heard was something about 30 seconds.

 

[Kneejerk Bombas]

Wow, this is like the movie Phenomenon.

 

[Newfie]

Guess it must of just been some heartburn????

 

[Stumper]

I heard a news report a few minutes ago that it happened and was felt in several states in the lower 48.

The quake occurred at 2:13 PST, 45 minutes before oakwilt's post...

Some damage to houseboats here in Seattle from the wave action...

Here's a link, which shows some activity in the same area prior to the 7.9 quake.

Opps. Something's amiss. I posted at 2:00 Central, which would've been noon Pacific, eleven Alaska.

What's wrong were the coordinates. Off by eighteen miles from the epicenter. Would you believe me if i told you I got a repremand for posting then a serious scolding for being "offcenter?"

 

[treeclimber165]

ummm, Oakwilt- you posted the first post in this thread at 6PM Eastern, which is 5PM Central.

Here is a quote from the local newspaper story:

The quake, centered on the Denali Fault 90 miles south of Fairbanks, struck Sunday at 1:13 p.m. Alaska Standard Time (5:13 p.m. EST) -- its effects strongly felt in Anchorage about 270 miles to the south. It lasted at least 30 seconds.

sources...

sounds very mysterious and covert, sure it wasn't Chicken Little?


sounds like reed tried to go back to the future.


We noticed the effects here today as the pump prices went up a nickel after falling for a couple of weeks.

reed, keep in mind what you're dealing with, and then who....when you look around to see who's t/here, make sure you make a complete circle....not to stop you by any means, but when you read the responses you're bound to get, keep that in mind....

sorry if i'm telling you what you already know....but.....

and thanks. message needed received where needed.
