Huge quake of magnitude 8.2 on Alaska Peninsula triggers tsunami alert
Reuters

July 29 (Reuters) - A shallow earthquake of magnitude 8.2 struck the Alaska Peninsula late on Wednesday, prompting tsunami warnings in the region, authorities said.
There were no immediate reports on loss of property or life.
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) said the quake, which struck at 10:15 p.m. local time (0615 GMT Thursday), was at a depth of 35 km.
In Alaska, the National Tsunami Warning Center (NTWC) issued warnings for southern parts, the Peninsula, and Pacific coastal areas from Hinchinbrook Entrance to Unimak Pass. It also issued a "tsunami watch" for the U.S. state of Hawaii.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center (PTWC) said the possibility of a tsunami threat to the U.S. state of Hawaii and the U.S. Pacific territory of Guam was being investigated.
Japan's Meteorological Agency was investigating whether there was a possibility of a tsunami hitting Japan, the public broadcaster NHK said.
Authorities in New Zealand also said they were assessing if there was any danger to coastal regions.
The U.S. NTWC said it was evaluating the level of tsunami danger for other U.S. and Canadian Pacific coastal areas.

The tremor struck about 91 km east-southeast of Perryville in Alaska. It was about 800 km (500 miles) from Anchorage, Alaska's biggest city. It was followed by seven aftershocks, two of them above magnitude 6.0, according to USGS.

No taco's tonight, I have an Ahi steak, probably cook some zucchini to go with it, or just slice up some fresh tomatoes with cottage cheese.

I picked the first tomato from my garden last night. And there's a few cukes finally ready. The cukes did bad this year. Plenty of yellow squash though.

I took a yellow squash to my tenant from Nigeria...He never saw one before. :lol:

Fuck, Dusty's dead. ZZ top has been part of my life forever. Sneaking out of the house when I was in high school late at night and getting picked up by Cave man (he had wild hair like his nickname) in his mom's 68 Pontiac Bonneville with a ZZ top tape in the 8 track. Getting stoned and ending up at Denney's at O dark 30. The Mrs used to hear them on Wolfman Jack's show out of Tijuana late at night on her AM radio with an ear bud. Anyway I found this concert last night, almost 1.5 hrs. Some more obscure tunes on it also, enjoy. RIP Dusty.
