Earthquake hits Alaska!

What's Happening?

A big earthquake hits near the coast of alaska which triggered a tsunami warning all around the area, as it hit near the Alaska Peninsula at 10:15 p.m, it triggered the whole area for warnings about a tsunami coming big not big waves, Michael West who is the state seismologist with the Alaska Earthquake Center stated:

This is the largest earthquake to happen in the Alaska region since 1965

but it was stated that there were no damages or any kind of injuries caused by the earthquake but officials said that this statement could change if people that live nearby didn't take care.

Dave Snider, a tsunami warning coordinator stated that:

The good news is this does not look like a really significant event, Strong currents are still very likely, and it’s still likely we’ll see some damage but it’s not likely it will be catastrophic

The tsunami warning started on Wednesday but got debunked on Thursday morning when the biggest wave was about a half foot, but the earthquake was scary and did some damage all over Alaska, Mayer told the Anchorage Daily News:

“It started to go and just didn’t stop, It went on for a long time and there were several aftershocks, too. The pantry is empty all over the floor, the fridge is empty all over the floor.

Also, the school manager Paul Parker talked to the Anchorage Daily Newspaper and stated:

”We’re used to this. This is pretty normal for this area to get these kind of quakes, and when the tsunami sirens go off, it’s just something we do, that’s not something you ever get used to, but it’s part of the job living here and being part of the community.”

What's Happening? I just love flashbacks when I was younger, it's amazing how the human mind reminds you of small details but at the same time, I don't remember what I ate yesterday lmao, anyways I'm going to write the flashbacks that happened to me when I was younger, and funny memories as well! Pool time? My first flashback is my first memory but it's a horrible memory though, it's a very dark and horrible time to me, so to begin with it was my first time getting stitches and was on my chin, what happened was I was copying what my friend was doing in the pool as she was jumping in the pool from behind which turning her back to the pool and jumping backward, so i was a little young girl who was five at the time, but what happened was when I copied her I didn't get far enough when jumped to the pool so my chin hit the edge and injured myself, so I really remember my point of view of people getting me out of the pool and rushing me to the doctor, which was h...

5 Inventions that were done by Women!

What's Happening? Top inventions that were made by women changed the world, let's praise them! 1. Medical syringe to be honest, I never knew that who did the syringe and always had no information about women doing any inventions I don't know why but this invention was done by Letitia Geer and was done in 1899, as they did the syringe that required two hands to do the injections correctly without resulting any harm, so basically, she invented the syringe that required only one hand that all medical practices use it now! "Her syringe design includes a cylinder, piston rod, a handle, and nozzle. The piston rod had a U-shaped handle for easier grip. The handle was designed in a way to be reached even in extreme positions. The hook at the free end of the syringe prevented hands from slipping." As her syringe had a lot of benefits because it was cheap and can easily be used and done by only using one hand, as it's easy to use by any person, she died at the age of ...

Jennifer and David knew each other since the show "Friends" as they were the characters "Rachel Green" and "Ross Geller" since the show started fans have been loving and shipping them in both the TV show and in real life. Couple of months ago in Freinds Reunion, David admitted that he actually crushed on Jennifer and she crushed on him back but for the sake of their friendship and the show they acted normally as both said in the reunion that they used these emotions in the show that's why it feels so realistic in the show.
