Man what some messed up weather out there

Got earthquakes in Alaska, tornadoes over by squirtthecat and we had some good thunder storms move through that took a tree down back by my shop, didnt hit anything though.

Hope every one else around is as lucky as i was

We got's a lil' T-storm comin' through right now. Pea size hail, 40ish mph winds, and heavy rain.

We had a shaker?!?!? Didn't feel a thing and I certainly should have felt a 5.2 in Anchorage! Going after Silvers and Flatties tomorrow so glad it didn't shake my house down!

Ya know what kummok...we get them all the time here (not 5.2's) but we have only felt 2 in 10 years...one a roller (was kinda like being on a boat out at sea)...one a shaker...the shaker with the big jolt at the end was a little scary...but...we live 10 miles from the San Andreas fault...as Yogi would say..."it is what it is"!!!! ;D

Kummok you probably didn't notice things shaking while you was out fishing.

New Mexico also had a small earthquake last night, only 2.6. The world seems to be active!!!

Got the dogs attention but didn't do much of anything else up here in Wasilla Alaska. I saw the trees move a bit and thats all. :)

glad to hear everyone is ok and no damage that I heard about anyway.

Didn't even know we had one until i read about it in the paper this morning. My wife said she felt a little tremor at work.

We've had the second flood of the season on the Kenai River - other than the floods and volcano it's been a fantastic summer!
