A 6.5 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Papua New Guinea's Bougainville island on Tuesday, but there were no reports of damage or sea level changes.

The quake's epicenter was 78 miles (125 km) west of Arawa on Bougainville at a depth of 46.4 miles (75 km), the U.S. Geological Survey said in Washington on Monday.

"We have not received any reports from Bougainville," said a spokesman for the Papua New Guinea National Disaster Emergency Services in the capital, Port Moresby.

1. Hopefully There's Little Damage...

46 miles down is pretty deep for a quake. The Haiti quake was about 5 miles down. I just checked and didn't see a Tsunami warning for the area.

Damn...I hate nights where I can't sleep...

:hi:

6. I'll Be Glad To Turn On The Teevee...

...and not see another attack ad. This primary has been especially nasty. Last night was wall-to-wall ads...just couldn't help thinking of how much money has been thrown at the corporates for all this mud slinging. I have a feeling I'm gonna be on the wrong side on several races today...but so it goes.

4. I'm just waiting for one in Charleston.

That will upset the grand dames who still refer to the Civil War as the 'Late Unpleasantness." Gah!
