This message is from: Jean Ernest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fred, I'm glad all is well on Pack's Peak. From what I've read, tho, what you have to worry about more than earthquakes is what will happen when Mount Rainier blows someday. Wilkeson is right in the path of predicted Pyroclastic mud flows. How would that affect your place? (Just giving you something more to worry about! LOL)
We regularly have small earthquakes here, last one was 5.+ something, last month; I thought it was a big truck or snowplow rumbling by, rattled the house. A bigger one a year or so ago was in the 6.+ range, woke me up with the bed rocking. These were shallow. But Fairbanks is much better off than Anchorage, as there is solid bedrock under Fairbanks, while Anchorage is built on a clay/silt material that turns to mush when shaken! AND they're rebuilding in the areas where the Big 1964 earthquake did the most damage! Foolish! And of course, there is always some volcano or another erupting in the Aleutians. My fuzzy Fjords are starting to shed...I came in covered with hair after scraping some off yesterday. They have a LONG way and bushels of hair to go to "slick"! Jean in Fairbanks, Alaska, cooler today, only +20 degrees and sunny.
