Kids only hear what they want to. It's called selective hearing.

I'm not a big fan of kumquats. They're a "take it or leave it" thing with me, and I'd rather leave it. Maybe it's because there are so many types of citrus available to me, here in Florida. I do prefer them candied.

Everyone say a quick prayer for @Alaskan and Alaska in general.

DH and I just heard live on our HAM radio that there was a 7.2 earthquake with sunami warning outside Anchorage/kenai peninsula!

I do pray for them do you know was it based out side Anchorage/Kenai Peninsula

The USGS is reporting 6.6 but the HAM operator is saying it was a 7.2. The HAM is in Soldatna Alaska and is getting reports of inside of homes being trashed. No reports of overall damage yet.

Here is the USGS site. The Operator is about 100 miles south and slightly west of Anchorage.

Yep. It was big.

Center point was Anchorage. So far sounds like just knocked over TV s and books etc.

Alaska... with so many earthquakes, has good building codes. Homes should be mostly fine... maybe a few cracks

Most expensive damage, my guess, will be well casing cracking or busting.
First time in a long time the town Tsunami siren went off. (Well, besides the test run every wednesday)

Tsunami warning for 2 hours. I doubt we will get hit though... Kenai though.. or Hope... they might.

Glad to hear that you are alright, Al. It was very strange hearing it live with the HAM operator saying "we are having an earthquake! Shaking hard!" He is still live doing Emergency Networking calling in all HAM operators in the area. Very exciting to hear but not too exciting for the good people of Alaska. They just said that Anchorage is without power.
