earthquake

A small earthquake has been confirmed in Central Wyoming.

A 4.9 magnitude earthquake jolted much of western Wyoming on Saturday, but no damage was reported.

According to the USGS, an earthquake that measured 4.0 on the Richter Scale rattled the western parts of Wyoming at about 11:30 PM last night. The epicenter was described as being 14 miles WNW of Afton, Wyoming and was approximately 3 miles deep...

Not only was last week’s East Coast earthquake nice enough not to seriously injure anybody, but its rumbling effects may have actually helped a deaf man hear again.

The rare earthquake that shook the nation's capital this afternoon measured a 5.8 magnitude.  It was enough to force the evacuations of government buildings, interrupt phone service, shut down airports, trigger workers to take nuke plants off-line, and possibly tilt the national monument.

The number of casualties and inherent dangers continue to mount in the three weeks after that devasting earthquake and accompanying tsunami crippled Japan. Again, we are thankful for the slightest miracle or any good news that can be reported from the ongoing crisis. Well, here's another one...

The images we've been seeing and the stories we continue to hear are nothing short of mind-numbing.  In the wake of the cataclysmic  disaster that Japan is faced with, we truly cherish any good news that we can report. That lead us to Hiromitsu Shinkawa.  Hiromitsu was just rescued after spending two days at sea; floating on the roof of his home, which just happened to be 10 miles out.

It's day two for a Japan reeling from one of the biggest earthquakes in recorded history, and an equally powerful  tsunami.  Today brought yet another earthquake and more aftershocks to the region, plus the threat of a nuclear reactor meltdown following an explosion at the plant.

The biggest earthquake on record to hit Japan has caused widespread destruction across the country. A 10-meter high tsunami, triggered by the tremor, has swept inland in many places swamping everything in its path.

Our attention, prayers, thoughts, and condolences remain focused on the escalating and intensely dangerous situation in Japan and the Pacific regions. Aside from the initial devastation caused by the 8.9 magnitude earthquake, itself; evacuations and tsunami warnings remain in effect.
