HUMUNGOUS EQ RATTLES RUSSIAN HINTERLANDS |
Earthquake rattles Russian hinterlands

The U.S. Geological Survey and Japan's Meteorological Agency estimated
the quake's magnitude at 7.7.
MOSCOW -- A 7.7-magnitude earthquake hit a distant, sparsely populated
region of Russia's Far East on Friday, and there were reports in at
least one coastal village of damaged buildings -- including a school
and a hospital.
The quake hit at around 12:30 p.m. local time in the Koryak region,
nearly 4,350 miles east of Moscow and some 625 miles north of the
largest city in the area Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, said Oleg Kotosanov,
a duty officer with the regional emergency situations ministry.
The U.S. Geological Survey and Japan's Meteorological Agency estimated
the quake's magnitude at 7.7.
Kotosanov told The Associated Press by telephone that there were
reports of damage in some villages of the Pacific region, and that
emergency officials were flying by helicopter to several locations.
Federal emergency officials in Moscow said they had no information
about the quake.
Russian news agencies said buildings had been damaged in the coastal
village of Tilichiki, including a school, a hospital and an airport.
The agencies said there were also some injuries.
Russia's north Pacific coast sits along a major tectonic plate and is
frequently hit by earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
"It's the largest event in this area since 1900," A.B. Wade, a
spokeswoman for the USGS, told the AP. "It's a sparsely populated area;
up to 2,000 people were exposed to intensive shaking."
By comparison, the great San Francisco earthquake of 1906, which
destroyed more than half of the city's buildings and left between 3,000
and 6,000 people dead 100 years ago this week, was estimated at a
magnitude of between 7.7 and 7.9.
The Russian quake, centered about 30 miles below the surface, posed no
tsunami risk to the western United States and Canada, according to the
West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center.

Bad news. AFAIK, the more remote eastern portions of Russia are extremely
difficult to get to, making it difficult to get any assistance in there,

Not many casualties there, as very sparsely populated region.....
But the point of posting is important in the light of the fact that
there is increased activity in the region of "The Pacific Ring Of FIre"
as Edgar Cayce elabored in his readings more than 60 years ago.....
A volcano in Indonesia is threatening to "blow it's stack", so to speak
!!!
