Pager went off shortly after 2am. We finally got back to bed shortly after 5.

Yet many still recall what befell Port Alberni from an Alaskan quake in the 60s.<br /><br />Had it not been for that 2 a.m. call from the kids I would have slept through this just as I've slept through every other quake/tsunami warning for the past 15 years at least.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-66337753290433373402018-01-23T05:20:56.020-08:002018-01-23T05:20:56.020-08:00Was the occasion for a very early morning visit fr...Was the occasion for a very early morning visit from kids and grandkids for tea on higher ground, even though their house should be above the tsunami flood zone. Lots of joking around, recording our tsunami warning system and tweeting out to relatives in Ontario, grand daughter ensuring that all her friends are safe, and I'm all caffeined up, so will just stay at it. Seems all systems worked pretty much as they should. Sleep well.<br />Danneauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16129916194006552602noreply@blogger.com
