Power outage
Up here in the wilds of Alaska, our power went out due to the high wind gusts, which are still going. Our generator went on quickly and the outage didn't last more than 2 hours. However, my mother owns a veterinary clinic, and the generator there didn't start... She called a handyman who had to jump it with his car. He had to go into their neighbor's yard, since it's on the backside of the building. (The manufacturer of their generator went out of business several months ago.)
Just a fiasco. Thank goodness it worked out.
Is anyone in the Gulch experiencing flooding or other natural disasters?

I applaud those in remote spots, and wish I could do what I do for work there. Always wanted to live in Alaska.
Upon arriving, though, it didn't take long for them to realize that "while the odds were good, the goods were odd."
very good care of you, in my experience. . strong and
dependable, devoted and ingenious. -- j

should be approached with skepticism, regardless. -- j

Life has these little surprises where ever you live. BUT there are bright spots. Like my newly arrived from California neighbors who were prepared for the huge snowstorm. He had installed wood heat? Pellet stove? The feed auger ran on electricity? Kinda makes you smile at the justice of it all. The question marks meaning I'm speaking in Californian? They talk that way.
I'm here for the beaches and mountains. Pretty nice combo. The State of Jefferson is nice too. Want to know a real accomplishment? Actually being able to afford living here while not being on the dole...
China refused and said they'd rather take an economic bath on US T bills. Oregon had too many debts and California had too many debts plus who could pay the water bill for LA County?
No stuff it really happened that way?
Not now, but we did without electricity for 13 days after hurricane Odile
It was a different problem everyday, would there be water today, would the cell phones work (did the first day but not again for 5 or 6 days, would the ATM work (not for 10 days - we were the first one to use it and then there was a long line within 15 minutes), would there be beer - the beer truck did not come for a week or so, would there be gasoline? Heat and boredom and bad information were the big problems.
When the power came on again I said that day from now on will be Thomas Edison day.
We stayed because people thought based on the last big hurricane we might be without power for 4 to 5 days. Next time we will drive out of the area.
power continuity sometimes and left the master bedroom
without power. . double male extension cord across
the central bedroom which we used as a study. -- j

The 1964 Alaskan earthquake, also known as the Great Alaskan earthquake and ... resulting in the deaths of 30 people between the collapse of the Valdez city ... 68 people who lived there; survivors out-ran the wave, climbing to high ground. .... Twelve people were killed by the tsunami in or near Crescent City, California, ...
The earthquake caused the high walls of a very narrow canon to collapse into the water below as I recall. the water burst out like a fire hose knocked out a lot of the Valdez area and the earthquake continued to reinforce. This power pushed south into southern oregon and northern california waxing Brookings/Harbor just north of the stateline and Crescent City to the south. That gave the water motive force. When it neared the proper demersal topography a sloping shelving coast line the water builds higher and higher. The most damage was not the initial wave going ashore but reversing itself and heading back to the ocean. Only to be caught up by the follow on.in what we military types would call force multiplier. Going south to Mendocino county the Mendocino ridge runs into the and out to sea for around a hundred miles in gradually increasing depths. Water coming down the coast and closer in shore is caught and diverted towards land. Same thing. shelving builds waves and fuels their height and speed. All because some canyon wall in Alaska decided to go walkabout. In the eastern Atlantic there is one particular island. here's a link and partial description. ed by ..... A tsunami ball simulation.
