Interesting... just heard about it too. It was 1200 miles from anchorage, so I imagine they are, but I don't know if they were traveling or anything. |
Holy crap, there have been a lot of 6+ temblors in the last day or two. That's a big one in Alaska. Honshu Japan is still being rocked real hard, too. http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/ ... es_big.php Code: Update time = Fri Jun 24 11:33:22 UTC 2011 MAG UTC DATE-TIME y/m/d h:m:s LAT deg LON deg DEPTH km Region MAP 6.3 2011/06/24 06:33:07 -10.919 165.945 62.6 SANTA CRUZ ISLANDS MAP 5.2 2011/06/24 05:18:49 -12.688 66.242 10.0 MID-INDIAN RIDGE MAP 5.1 2011/06/24 05:12:10 -12.717 66.317 10.1 MID-INDIAN RIDGE MAP 7.2 2011/06/24 03:09:40 52.008 -171.859 62.6 FOX ISLANDS, ALEUTIAN ISLANDS, ALASKA MAP 5.0 2011/06/24 02:06:53 0.666 -25.436 13.6 CENTRAL MID-ATLANTIC RIDGE MAP 5.2 2011/06/23 11:38:36 30.288 131.543 52.6 KYUSHU, JAPAN MAP 5.3 2011/06/23 10:35:03 38.525 141.579 53.1 NEAR THE EAST COAST OF HONSHU, JAPAN MAP 5.2 2011/06/23 07:34:46 38.519 39.659 10.1 EASTERN TURKEY MAP 5.0 2011/06/23 04:33:54 -15.085 -173.430 65.8 TONGA MAP 5.2 2011/06/22 22:16:56 -21.744 -179.068 554.3 FIJI REGION MAP 6.7 2011/06/22 21:50:48 39.980 142.247 32.0 NEAR THE EAST COAST OF HONSHU, JAPAN MAP 5.1 2011/06/22 20:43:48 37.612 144.329 10.6 OFF THE EAST COAST OF HONSHU, JAPAN MAP 5.2 2011/06/22 14:28:59 40.040 142.769 40.9 NEAR THE EAST COAST OF HONSHU, JAPAN MAP 5.3 2011/06/22 13:57:31 -27.920 -66.501 163.4 CATAMARCA, ARGENTINA |
For those who watch the Alaskan fisherman, Dutch Harbor, home port, is in the Fox Islands, Unalaska I think. |
I'm fine, and I'm sure Liz is too! (Liz is infamous for not noticing earthquakes that send everyone else running for shelter ) We didn't even feel it! Where did you guys read this? Our local news hasn't got a thing about it! If it was in Dutch, that would be kinda bad...the Aleutians are very vulnerable to tsunamis. |
Ok...I found a news story... All is well! The tiny little communities out there are all fine. There was no tsunami, but everyone went to high ground, and evidently it mostly turned into cheerful little outdoor parties . The weather was nice, and people in the Aleutians take their picnics when they can! http://www.salon.com/news/natural_disas ... mi_warning |
Glad you're OK. KB |
Thanks for the news post...and glad you guys are OK. |
Glad to hear you are OK! Robin |
Gasp! For the first time I didn't watch the morning news today and just saw this post. I was so worried when clicking on the post. So glad everyone is safe! Very happy that communities weren't affected! You all take care. Marianne |
I heard it on our news this morning here in Florida, but they didn't fill in with any info. I'm glad you're both ok. I know Alaska is a large state, but the report was not very informative. |
Dutch Harbour-I actually know a place in Alaska, from that Deadliest Catch tv show. I am not a big 'reality' tv fan, but I love that show. I miss the ocean. I need to start job hunting in my home province. |
