Major National Natural Diasasters: Earthquakes Hit off the Coast of Alaska

In Anchorange, Alaska, a 4.8 magnitude earthquake has been reported on Thursday, April 29, 2010. No damage has been reported although Anchorange and other parts of southern Alaska are shaken. The quake was reported at 1:48 A.M. It has been said by the USGS National Earthquake Information Center in Golden, Colorado, that the earthquake was most strongly felt in the Valdez area. The quake was about a hundred miles from Anchorange and about 20 miles deep.

Weather summary:

The temperature has been inching upward throughout the week and is now feeling great! There should be no dew in the morning even though the dew point temperature is higher. It has been getting slightly windier as we go further into week so a light jacket should still be kept close by. The humidity has also been rising which could possibly mean more rain fairly soon and the barometric pressure is falling. The skies are c;ear today but who knows how long that'll last? You should probably enjoy it will it is here because it probably won't. I hope the rain has gotten its fill in April because I am done with April showers, and ready for it to bring may flowers.
