All well. There were very few injuries in Ridgecrest and not much damage to single family homes. Mostly people lost stuff that fell out of cabinets and off shelves and broke on the floor. Lots of damaged mobile homes and damaged commercial buildings. The base has been closed but will start reopening Monday.The nearby mining town of Trona was cut off for 3 days and suffered much more damage. Lots of old rickety structures. The chemical plant is old and was badly damaged. No one seems to know if or when it will reopen. They mine and process minerals from the dry lake bed.lots of aftershocks (thousands) You can see them at earthquakes.usgs.gov

WTF is the Wasilla Middle School logo about? These are NOT the Native Americans that live/lived in the area. They had to go with this? JFC.

I lived in AK for ten years. The amount of bullshit is enormous up there. I love the place - would be living there now if it wasn't for my SO hating the place - but it's really fucked up sometimes....

Well, mr. 90-comment dude, have you ever actually been in Alaska?

I thought not.

When looking at the money Alaska's GOP is cutting out of its budget, remember that America's largest state, Alaska, has a population of only 736,000, so the per person proposed cuts in services to Alaska's citizens is drastic. I recently came back from Anchorage after celebrating a young relative's graduation from the University of Alaska, and it is sad to know others will lose that opportunity.

Middle nephew was born in Alaska, so I retain a loose interest in the doings of his homeland... and boy is it batshit.

But is it a requirement that governators must come from Wasilla? Because I don't think Wasilla is sending their best.

Or they are trained properly, but are such assholes they contaminate anyway.

The funny thing is (it's not funny), the woman who designed Brownback's budget is the same who designed Dunleavey's.
