Earthquake

Tomorrow we begin a three day drive to Valdez, AK (approx. 700 miles). We will travel thru a small section of British Columbia followed by Haines Junction, Yukon Territory; Tok, Alaska; and Glenallen, AK enroute. There is plenty of time for stops along the way so when we get to another hotspot, we will push out more pix to the blog.

We talked to Ashley yesterday and she told us that Javi read about an earthquake near us. In fact, last night's TV news carried the story of a 7.x quake in the ocean near Petersburg, AK where we stopped on the Ferry last Thursday. The news said that there was no damage and no tsunami after the quake. Neither MA nor I felt anything...didn't even know about it until Ash told us. So...No, Uncle John, the earth did not move for MA & I. I knew you would ask.

Also failed to note it during our trip along the Oregon coast...along the entire route, there were excavation route postings in the event of a tsunami. Always good to know where I can go to escape a tsunami!!!
