This one?

please take chains, have a stove or other way to stay warm if the Jeep takes a dump. Buy an Alaska Milepost to see what gas stations are open in the winter, ditto for hotels. The Milepost also has distance between points. Take at least one 5 gal gas can, just in case. Temps today in Ft Nelson BC, fo...

We might have some help along the way https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/08/george-soros-bank-of-england.asp Makes you wonder if the US will, once again, call in all gold, silver and such as was done by FDR. @raptor - I nothing is nothing that can be called a 'safe investment' - but, what IYO,...

Moving to where in AK?

I work on the 3rd floor of a 4 story building. We just had a 7.0 earthquake about 10 (air) miles away. I think this fills scenario. I happened to be at home. But after checking that the house was still weather tight (no broken windows etc) - I drove over to the DW workplace with extra batteries and ...

And in Alaska, it will be +40F and raining.

I swear - the Russians are dumping all their heat over the border....

Population of Great Britain in 2018 - 66.57 million Population of Californian in 2018 - 39 million. California is also the State with the largest population. Although the land size of Wy is close to that of England. I would say rather than the US looking like the UK in 100 years... The rest of the U...

When it rains, it pours.. Storm hitting town now has winds of 75MPH and rain - but by Sunday night we should have 6 to 8 inches of snow.

If you don't like the weather, just wait a couple of days.

Minor damage inside the house - a lot of small stuff went flying. All the big stuff we have pinned down/bolted to the wall. Electric is back up in may part of town. The first aftershock was a MFer. Just had another, really sharp AF come thru. AT&T cell service stayed up, the wire phone service staye...

On the filp, I once worked VK9NS, Jim Smith - on 10M, on SSB! Jim was a CW guy thru and thru. He had just finished working on a sailboat radio - and I was checking the clubs (KL7AIR) long wire antenna to see how far up the bands I could load it. I was shocked to get a reply on 10M - let alone for No...

Didn't see anything about radioactive... as for the ice-

Yeah HP I was thinking more like - Well crap, there goes 10 and 20 meters. I suppose I could put up a larger antenna try working long path on 80 - but that would make me an Old Fart. Mostly I did find her work interesting as it seemed to flow counter to the current AGW . As for the 98% - that's 98% ...

Notable, but not as bad as the mass out migration of 1985 - 1989. Back then, Anchorage lost at least 30K residents - whole neighborhoods wee empty. Real estate tanked, banks failed and the only thing that kept the folks remaining afloat was PACE (think COSCO, but back in the day) - the first real Bo...

Most goods arrive in Alaska via barge or RORO. Air cargo is an important part of the economy in Anchorage. FEDEX/UPS have major centers here and are a major employer. If the air traffic gets diverted, layoff might occurr - and the economy is shaky enuf this could lead to an increase of the ongoing e...

This will all soon be OBE as the FCC has banned the sale of these rigs.

300,000 displaced.

In Katrina, 600,000 were displaced - this in a much larger, in a multi-state area.

And Cali already has a bad housing problem.

They haven't done so well here in Anchorage.

They will steal your food (homeless types)

Then they steal the dirt. (local jerks)

They can work, IMO, mostly in small towns.

Cal Fire - 56 confirmed dead
130 missing.

I see the fire cost is now - 'near' a billion $

Found a box of Special K hiding on a shelf in the food room. Packaging was intact. So, opened and ate it. It tasted a bit stale. Since I use UHT milk, no big. It was stored in the dark and a constant low temp. I suspect dry cereal, esp the sugar coated stuff, will be well past the Best By date if th...

100k have evacuated. Where they will all go is now an open question.

May the Lord have mercy, 'cause Mother Nature has shown none.....

I don't see a "Civil War" per se - that is to say an armed conflict between well defined groups. Please note my use of the word "Armed". It may not matter.... To be a bit more precise - James Fearon, a scholar of civil wars at Stanford University, defines a civil war as "a violent conflict within a ...
