Thanks for the ping....Pakistan has had some more sizable aftershocks;

Death Toll in Asian Quake Passes 79,000 ~~ Oct. 8 2005 disaster in Pakistani & Kashmir...

*************************************************

The new numbers come as two strong aftershocks jolted the devastated region, unleashing landslides and setting off another wave of panic among survivors who lost loved ones and homes in the Oct. 8 disaster.

You will never guess what the happen here on the coast today.

We had an emergency broadcast on tv that interupted telivised programming to Announce a 7.4 Earthquake of the Coast of Eureka and warning for Tsunami to his the ORegon and Wash. Coast.

THEY FORGOT TO SAY THIS IS A TEST!

That went on for about 45 min every 5 min untill somebody obviosly got word and then they followed in the next hour saying the previous message was only a test.

COME ON!
Fortunetly we had our NOAA radio on that was saying TEST AFTER the message.

Then it came over our scanner from 911 dispatch to all units that the Tsunami warning was only a test.

Folks went nut thinking there was a Tsunami coming because the idiots doing the TV drill forgot to say this is a TEST.

I think we need to get tax refunds or start drug testing the powers that be.
