Earthquake!

[PetersCreek]

I started my day at work...like, two minutes into it...with a major earthquake. Magnitude 7.0 with an epicenter 41km deep, just 10-15 miles from the office. It got real exciting there for almost a minute. After making sure I wasn’t needed to relocate operations (air traffic control) I crept across town for 1½ hours, picked up the wife, and after camping in an Olive Garden for lunch in hopes of traffic dying down a bit, we braved the northbound highway for 3½-to-4-hours to go home.

We found ourselves to be very fortunate, if our local facebook group is any indication. No obvious damage to the house...but it’s dark...and little breakage of our treasures...very little. I’m recovering from the roller coaster day with a Perla Del Mar and some BenRiach single malt. Now, if the aftershocks would just fuggoff

Damn, man I'm glad you are ok! I was thinking of you and Tim @akpreacherplayz plays when I heard about the earthquake today.

Thank God Bros. Y'all made it .
Was 110 miles away from the 7.1 Landers quake in '92 and that was nuts.

Oh man...I lived in Landers and it was a wild week. Glad all you AK brothers are safe!

Glad to hear you are ok

Happy to hear you’ve made it through the shaking. Living in California my whole life, I’ve experienced many quakes, but not very many 7.0’s!

Man thats crazy. Glad everything is good with you sir!

 

[gurgalunas]

Yeah. That's crazy stuff. Glad everyone is safe, and hope the recovery goes smoother that is being suggested...

We have a faultline in SE MO that hiccups from time to time, but has a history of big ones, and supposedly we are due. Hope it waits awhile...

Glad to hear all is well. Looks like it’s going to take awhile to get things back to normal after this one
