Texas Lizard Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 In the early 70s, I was in Anchorage….I saw first hand what mother nature could do…One side of looks great other shows close to 50 foot change up….If I remember right it was close to a mile long…I think that one hit in the mid 60s…I am not sure I would want to be in that one….

Click to view a larger image On March 27, 1964 at 5:36pm local time (March 28 at 3:36 UTC) a great earthquake of magnitude 9.2 occurred in the Prince William Sound region of Alaska. The earthquake rupture started approximately 25 km beneath the surface, with its epicenter about 6 miles (10 km) east of the mouth of College Fiord, 56 miles (90 km) west of Valdez and 75 miles (120 km) east of Anchorage. The earthquake lasted approximately 4.5 minutes and is the most powerful recorded earthquake in U.S. history. It is also the second largest earthquake ever recorded, next to the M9.5 earthquake in Chile in 1960.

Shotgun Willie Nelson Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 About fifteen years ago or so, I was working in Elk Hills, near Taft, which is not too far from Bakersfield. I had had an inner ear infection which caused dizziness and some disorientation. After a couple of weeks of being off antibiotics, I was walking down the hall of the field office at work when I staggered into the wall. Balancing myself back upright, I thought to myself, "Damn, my inner ear infection is coming back." About that time one of the project managers came out of his office and told me, "Quick! Get out of the building! We're having an earthquake." Outside it was quiet, with no birds chirping or singing and the telephone poles were all moving out of sync with each other. Texas boys don't experience the ground moving beneath their feet too much...eerie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulp, SASS#28319 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 We had one in Oklahoma! Epicenter was up near Stillwater. Wife and I were in Valliant, she was on the phone with her brother in Lawton. He felt it about 5 seconds before we did. Actually Oklahoma has a lot of earthquakes, just never a big one.
