Being forever interested...

..in the various goings-on on the North American Pacific Seaboard.....

...including violent movements of the ground!....

I found some fascinating photographs of the results of devastating Alaskan Earthquake in 1964....>>>

An event that had quite escaped me!

Shades of the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake!...>>>

Time to wheel my trusty Cessna 150 out and explore the area, together with Google Satellite Maps.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

You do realize, Paul, that where that earthquake hit was a tad northwards of your usual Southern to Mid-Cal AO's, yes?

Having grown up on (literally) the western edge of the San Andreas, I guess earthquakes aren't a BFD to me unless they are really big one, Like the '06 or '64 quakekes. I can vaguely recally seeing all the hoopla about the '64 jiggle in the news for a while, altho following so close on JFK's assassination, it faded pretty quick...

Hello Pat.... :D ...

...its because of all the continuous San Andreas earthquake activity, Summer Wildfires, Murder, Rape, Pillage, Kidnapping, general mayhem and body count that occurs in the daily news all along the North Americas Pacific Coast Seaboard that keeps me permanently glued there, every day....

...never a dull moment!... ;) ...!
