There was a massive 7.9 earthquake in the vicinity of Tonga just a few minutes ago; here’s
info from the USGS
. There has been NO tsunami alert issued for our region. Repeat: NO TSUNAMI ALERT FOR HUMBOLDT COUNTY.
There’s been
tons of seismic disturbances in that area recently
, it seems. Check out this awesome video of an underwater volcano erupting thereabouts earlier this week:
This article appears in Shovels Ready?.
That video doesn’t work for me.
Has there been an alert of no tsunami for humboldt county or just no alert of any kind?
Do you mean "doesn’t work for me" as in "meh," or "doesn’t work for me" as in "can’t see the cool stuff"? ‘Cause I can see the cool stuff.
There was an alert, it just didn’t extend to here.
It gave me the YouTube "sorry, this video is no longer available" message. Now I can see it. Cool stuff it is.
pip squeak.
largest in last ~80 years was Mt. Pinatubo 1991, still pretty small in overall scheme of things
watch and think Portland, Seattle, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lf1PWap_GTw
would’ve been funnier if the Tonga footage showed the ash and debris blast knock the gin and tonic outta the boaters hand.
