Here's what 15 years of global earthquakes looks like in under four minutes







Monday, April 18, 2016

On this day in 1906, an earthquake woke up residents of San Francisco. Little did they know that it was going to be one of the deadliest natural disasters in the history of the United States.

Remembering the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake - The Old Farmer’s Almanac.

Historically, residents always referred to the 1868 earthquake as “the big one.” When this earthquake came, it only lasted about 45 seconds, but it was estimated to have been between 7.8 and 8.3 on the Richter scale (which wasn’t invented until 1935).

7.3 ANOTHER MASSIVE EARTHQUAKE HITS NEPAL

Help victims of the earthquake in Nepal



Earthquake survivors plead for aid in Nepal mountain villages - Gretawire

Earthquake survivors in Nepal’s mountain villages plead for help, as U.N. officials say more helicopters are needed to reach the isolated areas.

Nepal has been shaken by more than 70 aftershocks following the April 25 quake, and its people remain on edge. One brief aftershock Saturday afternoon shook Pauwathok’s only paved road, triggering screams from residents who began to run, then stopped when the tremor eased.

The small village is located in the district of Sindupalchok, where more deaths have been recorded than anywhere else in Nepal — 2,560, compared to 1,622 in Kathmandu. The U.N. says up to 90 percent of the houses in Sindupalchok have been destroyed.

Only a handful of the village’s roughly 80 homes remain habitable. Mostly made of brick and mud and sticks, they were either completely leveled or damaged beyond repair. Some families now sleep under makeshift shelters of debris that they constructed from their own ruined homes — torn roofs and boards, whatever was left.

Others sleep under tarpaulins — obtained only after residents sat in the middle of the road Friday and blocked an aid convoy that eventually relinquished 30 of them, said Giri, who took one for his family. “We only have the clothes on our backs. The rest has been buried under the rubble,” he said.

[WE HAVE CONTACT!] LOCAL HIKERS NEAR MT. EVEREST AS MASSIVE EARTHQUAKE STRIKES NEPAL

...FAMILIES TRY NOT TO WORRY AS HOURS GO BY WITH NO WORD - Kym Kemp/RedheadedBlackBelt
Two Humboldt County residents, Dave Creech and Neal Carnam, were believed to be on a hiking trail near Mount Everest when a 7.8 quake struck about 12:40 a.m. our time.
LOCAL MAN IN NEPAL SENDS PHOTOS AND REPORT FROM THE SCENE OF TODAY’S EARTHQUAKE THAT KILLED HUNDREDS - Kym Kemp/RedheadedBlackBelt
“We are stuck in Lukla. No flights in or out,” came the message from Dave Creech. He and his partner Neal Carnam, both of Northern California, had been exploring the area around Mount Everest when a 7.8 quake struck. Family here anxiously awaited news (see this post here for more information) for hours until just recently when Creech and his partner were able to contact them and let them know they were all right.... Creech sent photographs from the area as the people in Nepal grapple with damaged buildings and fears of aftershocks
If you're not following Kym Kemp's blog, you're missing out. Great local news source.
