A 6.9 is a big one. I wonder why there's no reports on this one?

[depotoo]

heard anything yet wx?

[wxcrazytwo]

heard anything yet wx?

Not yet. All she gets is a busy signal. She will keep trying. He flies out tonight, if he can. The Airport there is really small and I believe only one strip that flies over metal jerry rigged houses..

[msbee]

i hope your family is ok, wx, and I hope nthere is not too much damage in the country.

It means everyone in the world with relatives there is trying to call, so the network is overloaded.

They have active volcanos in Guatemala also. What kind of effect could the Earthquakes have on the volcanos? Any seismologist opinions on that?

Dammit, this is where my father lives. I called him yesterday and he said the weather was lousy and black.

This second quake was quite deep and an awfully long way from Guatemala city.


Quakes of this nature are fairly routine around Central America; people are just noticing them now because of Adrian. I'm sure they've had no practical effect on anything.
