Podcasts about alaska earthquake

The most powerful earthquake ever recorded in North America struck 75 miles south of Anchorage in March 1964. More than 130 people lost their lives in the temblor and the subsequent tsunamis. The state's largest city endured major damage to buildings, property, and infrastructure. Kodiak, Seward, Valdez, and the village of Chenega were among the places severely damaged by rising waters. The event forever changed how Alaska monitors and prepares for dangerous seismic threats. GUESTS Gary Watson (member of the Sun'aq Tribe of Kodiak), board member of the Kodiak Area Native Association Fred Christoffersen (member of the Valdez Native Tribe), elder Christina “Tina” Hoen (member of Lesnoi Village), Kodiak resident Mike West, state seismologist for Alaska

Our archivists read letters from our holdings about the 1964 Alaska earthquake in commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the earthquake on March 27, 2024.

On March 27th, 1964, the second-greatest earthquake in recorded history stuck the state of Alaska.  It was an absolute monster of an earthquake, completely devastating communities, including Alaska's capital, Anchorage.  The quake was so great that people could feel it 1,200 miles away in Seattle.  Despite its power, the secondary effects of the earthquake might have been even worse.

THE THESIS: This is progressive originalism and, yes, that is oxymoronic. Justice Jackson is making the case that racism as government policy is okay because the old, white men who wrote our founding documents were, in her mind, racist. What she really intends to do is to push the Cultural Revolution from the bench as anyone who read even a little bit about her views as a judge knew she would do on SCOTUS. THE SCRIPTURE & SCRIPTURAL RESOURCES: Hosea 9:7The days of punishment are coming, the days of reckoning are at hand. Let Israel know this.Because your sins are so many and your hostility so great,the prophet is considered a fool, the inspired person a maniac.Hosea 9:10“When I found Israel, it was like finding grapes in the desert;when I saw your ancestors, it was like seeing the early fruit on the fig tree.But when they came to Baal Peor, they consecrated themselves to that shameful idol and became as vile as the thing they loved.Hosea 10:3-4Then they will say, “We have no king because we did not revere the Lord.But even if we had a king, what could he do for us?”4 They make many promises, take false oaths and make agreements;therefore lawsuits spring up like poisonous weeds in a plowed field.THE NEWS & COMMENT:The woman who is on the court because she is black and female--though she famously has no idea what the word “woman” means--is doing exactly what we knew she would do: attempting to legislate racism unto the law, making all black people victims and all white people oppressors. She is nothing more than a communist who intends to legislate America into splintered pieces. [AUDIO] - Justice Jackson tells the Alabama solicitor general that the Framers of the 14th Amendment did NOT intend it to be “race neutral or race blind,” so taking race into account to protect minority voting rights is perfectly constitutional. Progressive originalism at work.Jackson wants to control who gets what and she uses racism as her cover. The Revolutionary Communist Party's Podcast celebrates using the cover of the weather--Climate Catastrophe, don't-cha-know--to control everything. The 14th Amendment “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”Her comrades in the Communist Party, USA are really excited about the new control governments are seizing: [AUDIO] - There are many creative ideas for how to address the #climate crisis. Under capitalism they go nowhere if they aren't profitable. But these ideas CAN be put into effect in a revolutionary socialist system.Raymond Lotta was or is a leader of the Revolutionary Communist Party (“USA”) and the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement.Almost ten years ago, I began pointing out that America has been pushed into a cold, civil war. I guess I should feel better with people like Victor David Hanson in agreement with me:Victor Davis Hanson: The Thinnest Veneer Of Civilization RemainsThe veneer of respectability and civility has no place in the separate Country of California where the government intends to control what every doctor says and/or prescribes using Covid as the cover: Want Informed Consent? Speak Out Against California's New ‘Misinformation' Law; Now is the time to speak out against California's AB 2098, signed into law Friday by Gov. Gavin Newsom, which designates the dissemination of misinformation or disinformation related to COVID-19 as “unprofessional conduct."In the heart of every tyrant there is the poison combination of fear, arrogance and ignorance. They fear because they don't know The Lord, they are arrogant because they believe themselves to be god-like and they remain ignorant because they believe there is nothing they do not know. Alaska Earthquake; Elite Panic vs. the Resilient Populace. The lessons of a forgotten American disasterAs in war, the first casualty in disasters is often the truth. One symptom of elite panic is the belief that too much information, or the wrong kind of information, will send citizens reeling. After the 2011 tsunami knocked out Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, officials gave a series of confusing briefings. To many, they seemed to be downplaying the amount of radiation released in the accident. In the end, the radiation risks turned out to be much lower than feared, resulting in no civilian deaths. But, by then, the traumatized public had lost faith in any official statements. As one team of researchers notes, any “perceived lack of information provision increases public anxiety and distrust.”Elite panic frequently brings out another unsavory quirk on the part of some authorities: a tendency to believe the worst about their own citizens. In the midst of the Hurricane Katrina crisis in 2005, New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin found time to go on Oprah Winfrey's show and lament “hooligans killing people, raping people” in the Superdome. Public officials and the media credulously repeated rumors about street violence, snipers shooting at helicopters, and hundreds of bodies piled in the Superdome. These all turned out to be wild exaggerations or falsehoods (arguably tinged by racism). But the stories had an impact: Away from the media's cameras, a massive rescue effort—made up of freelance volunteers, Coast Guard helicopters, and other first responders—was underway across the city. But city officials, fearing attacks on the rescuers, frequently delayed these operations. They ordered that precious space in boats and helicopters be reserved for armed escorts.Too often, the need to “avoid panic” serves as a retroactive justification for all manner of official missteps. In late March, as the coronavirus pandemic was climbing toward its crest in New York City, Mayor Bill De Blasio appeared on CNN's State of the Union to defend his record. Host Jake Tapper pressed the mayor on his many statements—as recently as two weeks earlier—urging New Yorkers to “go about their lives.” Tapper asked whether those statements were “at least in part to blame for how the virus has spread across the city.” De Blasio didn't give an inch. “Everybody was working with the information we had,” he explained, “and trying, of course, to avoid panic.” How advising people to avoid bars and Broadway shows would have been tantamount to panic was left unexplained.

Box 508 Georgetown, KY 40324 Dump trucks have been around for several centuries. They range from simple dump carts to the first steam powered “tipper” to haul garbage, to the MEGA trucks used in open pit mines. There are many shapes and sizes of dump trucks. But all of them have specialized uses. This is a story of one of the many dump trucks/trailers and it usefulness in hauling material to construction sites. It's the “belly dump” or “bottom dump” truck and or trailers. I said story because I could not find any info about Carl Walker Hauling out of Anchorage Alaska during the 60s. If someone out there knows anything about Carl Walker please let me know in the comments below. I would really appreciate any information that you could provide.

In fact, the surface damage covered 185,000 square miles. The same day the Good Friday quake hit Alaska my father charted a sailboat with a group of friends and sailed to Anacapa Island. The island is located in the Santa Barbara channel. They landed on the island and the sailboat departed. My father's group spent the day and night on the island. Several members of the group noticed unusual tidal surges all Friday afternoon and commented that conditions were almost like tsunami conditions. According to my father the group had a wonderful and restful, time exploring the island, a barbecue on the beach that night, and settled down for a peaceful night sleep. During the night the tsunami hit the island around 4:30 am. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/logan-skeele/message

Thomas Heaton is a Professor of Geophysics, Professor of Civil Engineering and the Director of the Earthquake Engineering Research Laboratory. His research has principally focused on seismology and earthquake physics, with emphasis on earthquake rupture dynamics, earthquake early warning and strong ground motion. In this podcast we discuss the changing landscape of seismology, the effects of fracking and the largest earthquakes and tsunamis in history. By the end you will discover the chances of the “the big one” hitting are higher than you think and in a place you didn’t realize was in such danger. Guest: Connect with Professor Heaton by visiting his website and read up on his latest research at heaton.caltech.edu. Show Notes: • Oklahoma earthquake reignites concerns that fracking wells may be the cause • When Lake Mead rapidly filled up, quakes followed • World's Largest Recorded Earthquake • The Great M9.2 Alaska Earthquake and Tsunami of March 27, 1964 • 1946 Aleutian Islands earthquake • 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami • The Orphan Tsunami of 1700

Today marks the 50th anniversary of the 1964 Great Alaska Earthquake. To commemorate the quake, we're posting this extended version of the interview we broadcast on March 25, 2014, with Dr. Mike West, the Alaska State Seismologist and Director of the Alaska Earthquake Center. How On Earth host Beth Bartel talked with Dr. West about his recent paper, “Why the 1964 Great Alaska Earthquake Matters 50 Years Later,” published in Seismological Research Letters. To whet your appetite, here are some of the topics we covered: How this earthquake fit in to the still-young idea of plate tectonics. How geodesy--the study of the shape of the Earth and how it changes--helped nail this event down as a subduction earthquake.  (Also: How the simplest explanation is not always the right one.) Monitoring: Where we were then, where we are now. Why we should look to Alaska to test out earthquake early monitoring systems. How this quake led us to see that the same thing could--and has--happened off the coast of the Pacific Northwest. Local tsunamis, and what we should do about them.

1964 Alaska Earthquake (start time 04:37) This week 50 years ago, in 1964, the Beatles were huge, Alaska had only been a state for a mere five years, and the theory of plate tectonics was in toddlerhood. This Thursday, March 27, also marks the 50th anniversary of the magnitude 9.2 Great Alaska Earthquake of 1964. This earthquake changed our thinking about how the world works by showing us the hard way that tsunamis can arrive before the ground even stops shaking, that we can look in sedimentary records to recognize past great earthquakes offshore in places like the Pacific Northwest, and that these huge earthquakes rip the Earth open along a plane rather than in bits and pieces. What you’ll hear on today’s show is just the tip of the seismic iceberg: How the earthquake confirmed subduction, which is where one tectonic plate plunges under another. Beth Bartel speaks with Dr. Mike West, the Alaska State Seismologist and Director of the Alaska Earthquake Center, about his recent paper, "Why the 1964 Great Alaska Earthquake Matters 50 Years Later," published in Seismological Research Letters. Neuroscience of Dying (start time 12:38) If there’s one thing more certain than taxes—pardon the reminder—it’s death. It may be certain, but it’s still one of life’s biggest mysteries. On today's show, we explore what neuroscience can tell us about chemical and hormonal releases that can occur as we near the threshold of death. For instance, many people have written about so-called near-death experiences. It’s when your heart stops. You walk effortlessly toward a tunnel. You see a blast of white light. You might call it Heaven. Visions like these that people report they’ve had have some biochemical underpinnings. To help us understand the limited but fascinating body of scientific research regarding the neurobiology and chemistry of dying, Susan Moran talks with Dr. Ilene Naomi Rusk. Rusk is a psychologist who specializes in neuropsychopharmacology and co-directs The Brain and Behavior Clinic in Boulder.
