Alaska 7.0 Quake After an earthquake on Friday, a car is trapped in a crumbled section of an off-ramp from Minnesota Drive, a major road in Anchorage, Alaska. In Anchorage, Alaska, people took refuge under tables and fled outdoors on Friday morning, as a magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck just north of the city. Savoir-Faire is everywhere!

After an earthquake on Friday, a car is trapped in a crumbled section of an off-ramp from Minnesota Drive, a major road in Anchorage, Alaska. That's nothing, read this: Alaska is the most seismically active region of the United States. Since 1900, the state has experienced one magnitude 7 to 8 quake every year, and six magnitude 6 to 7 quakes annually, according to the Alaska Seismic Hazards Safety Commission. And counting the smallest quakes, the state experiences more than 1,000 earthquakes per month. Savoir-Faire is everywhere! The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST |

It's bigger when it's in a populated area. The hills may be alive with the sound of shaking, but the edelweiss will continue to grow without intervention. Roads need to be rebuilt or food and fuel will not get in. |

It's bigger when it's in a populated area. Or they have to be flown in by airplane, most of Alaska has no roads or trains and is permafrost, some of which is melting due to climate change. Savoir-Faire is everywhere! The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST |

The tsunami waves struck at night without any warning, destroying hundreds of buildings. The tsunami in Indonesia kills at least 168 without warning Officials say the tsunami could have been caused by undersea landslides after Anak Krakatau volcano erupted. |

The tsunami toll is 222 dead now and 843 injured while many more still remain missing. |

Some villages by their location were spared cause of the shape of the coastline and the local sea bottom I heard on the tv news earlier, the villages that were wrecked ought to be moved to safer areas. @ Grant: Any Volcano named Krakatoa is bad news, son or not.

Some villages by their location were spared cause of the shape of the coastline and the local sea bottom I heard on the tv news earlier, the villages that were wrecked ought to be moved to safer areas. Rising sea level caused by climate change may require whole cities of people to move or perish, the last time sea level rose was about 10,000yrs ago and then it was 400', some who fled now live in or near the Himalaya's, Antarctica and Greenland are melting, the majority of which in one is above present sea level, if some think this won't affect them cause they're not liberals, they're nuts. Some areas would go from valleys to shallow seas, plowing that will be impossible. This time it's only 200' and the melting is happening faster than expected and is happening NOW. The effect on the Ring of Fire is unknown of course. Savoir-Faire is everywhere! The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST |

Etna is erupting but so far without any damage to buildings. Only ash is causing problems to flights from Catania airport. Tullio |

I think you got the range of moment. About 20,000 years ago it was 200 feet lower than today. It then rose to about 200 feet above what it is today. Total change was 400 feet. If all the ice covering Antarctica, Greenland, and in mountain glaciers around the world were to melt, sea level would rise about 230 feet. It's never been 400 feet higher than where it is today. Almost all of the water on Earth is stored in two places: in the oceans (currently 97 percent of all water) and in glaciers (currently about 2.7 percent). We would need a lot more water to raise it 400 feet. |

I didn't say it would rise by 400'. Savoir-Faire is everywhere! The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST |
