Hi Greg--
Glad to hear that you are ok. Would you mind explaining to some of us "flat landers" here in Kansas what a tsunami is?

Oh yeah, and by the way---maybe you should send me your Pronghorn for safe keeping--you know just in case!

After all, Kansas has never had a tsunami! At least I don't think we have!

Best wishes
 
Knzn,
If I remember correctly, a tsunami is a tidal wave caused by an earthquake. The epicenter of the quake needs to somewhere on the ocean floor to cause the tidal wave. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.
 
Merriam-Webster:

tsu*na*mi (noun), plural tsunamis also tsunami

[Japanese, from tsu harbor + nami wave]

First appeared 1897

: a great sea wave produced by submarine earth movement or volcanic eruption : TIDAL WAVE
 
Greg, glad to hear you're all ok.
Now I know why you wanted me to come up, to hide your family behind me

I'm not denying that there have been large quakes in mid-america. IMO people in CA and AK experience more of them.
Being in one is scary...is this one the "big" one. Afterwards we try to see who guesses closest on the scale and we try to guess it's location. Most here in my area (Fortuna CA ...Just a few miles east of the western most point of CA) are a few miles off shore and centered a few miles down. Every now and then they are right on top,right under town.
The local paper prints a map every week showing the lastest local 'quakes every week.
I don't think a paper in TN would.

I remember when I was living in New York City, early one morning I woke up to a terrible growling noise and vibration, it sounded like a train running through my apartment.

After it stopped, I went back to sleep. When the alarm went off, I heard on the news that we'd had an earthquake.

Didn't even know enough to be scared.
 
Hi Greg,

glad you are well.
If you want me to take care of your knives, just drop me line.

I went throught the 9/21 earth quake a year and a half back. Pretty scarry stuff. I had a SOG Pentagon Elite with me at the time.

Greg, glad you and family are alright, happy, and well. And I appreciate the attempts to include knife content in this thread. BUT...this is a community issue. So this thread is going to the community forum.
