Joy & an earthquake 10.28.12

My friend Joy and her daughter Grace came for a weekend visit from Wrangell.  I'm so glad we are only a ferry-ride away.  We enjoyed our time together shopping, going to the coffee shop, etc.

On the Saturday evening they were here there was a 7.7 earthquake about 170 miles from Ketchikan on an island in British Columbia, Canada.  We were under a tsunami warning, but the "wave" was only 6 inches.  Hawaii got a 2.5 foot wave because of it.  It happened about 7:00 pm.  We didn't feel it as we were traveling in the car at the time, but people as far north as Juneau could feel the quake.  Exciting times!
