Murphys, CA...My name is Dori OBrien and it has always been my dream to open my own store. I have spent 30 years in the travel industry and 15 years in Title and Escrow. I was born and raised in San Francisco but I found my home when I visited Downtown Murphys and fell in love. I decided to take the plunge and move here in 2003. Ivan, my husband and I have been together for 27 years and we married in 2007. We both have a strong investment in this community - you may recognize him from his business, Murphys Electric.
Some Damage Reported After 7.0 Earthquake Rattles Alaska
Posted by: thepinetree on 11/30/2018 11:04 AM
Anchorage, AK...From USGS..."The November 30, 2018, Mw 7.0 earthquake near Anchorage, Alaska, occurred as the result of normal faulting at a depth of about 40 km. Focal mechanism solutions for the event indicate slip occurred on a moderately dipping fault striking north-south (dipping either to the east at about 30 degrees, or the west at about 60 degrees). At the location of this earthquake, the Pacific plate is moving towards the northwest with respect to the North America plate at about 57 mm/yr, subducting beneath Alaska at the Alaska-Aleutians Trench, approximately 150 km south-southeast of this event. The location and mechanism of this earthquake indicate rupture occurred on an intraslab fault within the subducting Pacific slab, rather than on the shallower thrust-faulting interface between these two plates.
