ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- An earthquake rocked Southcentral at about 11:30 a.m. Monday.
The 5.3 magnitude quake occurred about 30 miles southwest of Talkeetna, according to preliminary data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
There is no tsunami expected, NOAA said.
A small one actually.
It did not shake the foundation of my house like usual. It just shook the windows and rumbled a little.
Still it served to wake me up a little.
Maybe the Earthquake will shake loose an iceberg.
ReplyDeleteYa think?
PalinBushHitler's Fault!
ReplyDeleteYup. I just read that report and had to check on you guys.
ReplyDeleteHope everyone is OK. I know a 5.7 is quite unnerving - been through one when I lived in the SF area!

ReplyDeleteWith all due respect, Gryphen, Alaskans must be a bunch of sissy pants. We don't get too excited until it's a 6.0 here. And then we're only mildly interested. LOL
We've been waiting for an iceberg, and worried about a volcano, but an earthquake? Hope all is ok. Take care.
ReplyDeleteWell, glad you are okay!! They do tend to wake you up don't they?
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear all is okay with you guys. Found this on Progessive Alaska blog:
ReplyDelete"Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's friends at the web site, Conservatives4Palin, held a fundraiser that ended late yesterday. It was meant to bring in funds for Palin's mounting legal bills. The goal was set - undoubtedly in a highly unrealistic moment - at $500,000.00. The fundraiser raised just over $110,000.00. That was out 22% of their goal."
Must have been ol' GINO stomping her feet, jumping up and down!!!
That's what happens when you suck all the oil out of the ground. It creates pockets of nothing and those pockets of nothing like to get filled.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe God is just mad at all the fag-hating going on up there.
Anon at 4:49, that was wicked funny! LMAO
ReplyDeleteToo funny, I was working around heavy equipment today and thought that it was just the earth movers until I read about it.
ReplyDeleteI spend my life waiting for "the earth to move" but alas when it does, I don't even recognize it ;-)
