Monday was the 315th anniversary of the last really big earthquake off the Washington coast (estimated to have been 9.0+).
How's your earthquake preparedness plan? www.opb.org/news/series/unprepared/jan-26-1700-how-scientists-know-when-the-last-big-earthquake-happened-here/ Did you hear about the close call Earth had this morning? An asteroid came pretty close this morning (the distance of the Moon to Earth x 3). Luckily for us an hour of the event was livestreamed and now that broadcast is online! http://live.slooh.com/stadium/live/large-asteroid-2004-bl86-makes-its-close-approach-live
