But thanks for these!!!
Loved them

The earthquake the other night was a first for me - I was awake it sounded like someone drove a truck into our house....
Deff scary and a wake up call

Apparently it was our mortal hubris that did it.

It would appear a lot of people in BC have decided sacrificing to the gods isn't enough and are all buying earthquake kits now!! I bit the bullet, realized I'm too lazy to put one together on my own and ordered one online. I was then told there is now a 4-6 week waiting period due to "extremely high demand." I'm just following along with the masses, I guess!!!

My brother lives in Seattle. He wanted the call letters of my next door neighbor who is a ham operator, in case Cascadia decides to act up. He says ham operators are usually communications of the last resort and could get a message to me.

He told me he knew is sounded depressing but it just put his mind at ease....

I just discovered Chrome Cast which broadcasts YouTube from my phone to my tv so I've been watching all these documentaries that I wouldn't see otherwise.

OT - but the Chromecast also works very well with IceNetwork.

The New Yorker article that was the starting point for this thread just won the Pulitzer.

Kathryn Schulz, who arrived at The New Yorker less than two years ago, has won the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Feature Writing, for “The Really Big One,” her piece on the more than a little troubling geology of the Pacific Northwest. Her evocations of the earthquake in Japan in 2011 and of the earthquake that could occur in the states of Washington and Oregon stay with us much like works of the best fiction, to say nothing of horror films.
