Wanna know how to wake everybody up???
Put em in a concrete building, surround same with metal scaffolding…
And shake with a 6.8 earthquake… Β THAT is a LOT of noise!!!
Needless to say, we departed the building rather quickly, but orderly…LOL
It appears the first quake at 1039L was a precursor quake, and fairly low level, but it rumbled long enough to notice. Β The second one was an S-wave quake, magnitude 6.8 located 140 miles from us, on the bottom of the Pacific, and lasted probably 15-20 seconds!
We quickly grabbed what ever comms we had, and were checking the net, JTWC, and anybody else we could get hold of to see if we needed to head to higher ground, but that proved to not be required (thankfully)….
And went to lunch… π
You live a great life my friend!!
Glad you are OK! Safe travels!
Way more excitement than you anticipated!
NFO, you get to have all the fun!
Take care.
Oh, and did you have to do the whole underwear washing in sink thing afterwards?
Glad it was a non-event for you.
Keep taking good care.
I’m beginning to think it’s you. First Virginia, now this. Are you sure you’re not dragging around an earthquake jinx with you? Were you in Oklahoma this past week?
Glad you’re OK.
The workday could use a little interuption every now and then! Hope lunch was good. . .
DaddyBear – So, Al Gore brings snow anywhere he goes and NFO brings earthquakes?
NFO makes the earth move.
Just ask the ladies…
Danny- Things like THIS I could do without…LOL
Keads- Me toooooo!
PH- Yep and nope π
Andy- Nah, another day, another meeting…
Guffaw- It was a non-event over here, this is a weekly affair!
DB- Not me, I was no where near Oklahoma!
CT- Actually it was π Yakisoba π
Instinct- I truly hope not…LOL
Tim- yeah, right π
Glad you’re ok. All that scaffolding must have made a hell of a racket.
Holy crap, a 6.8 only 140 away even that deep is HUGE! Are you up in Alaska?
Never a dull moment huh?
We know you had on clean underwear π
Glad to hear your safe.
Glad you’re safe and it is just a story now.
HT- THAT chased us out more than the earthquake did…LOL
DC- Okinawa, and most of the locals ignored it… They get them on a regular basis here.
ADM- Dull would have been preferable π
SS- Yep π
45- Agreed! The oddity is the earthquake apparently got little coverage outside Japan!
So you’re to blame for the earthquakes?!?
Kidding. Glad everything turned out okay.
