I know this happened a few weeks ago but I'm going to recall on the Magnitude 8 earthquake that struck off the Solomon Islands. The earthquake also produced a small tsunami that struck small coastal villages on the islands, killing several people. The wave was said to be about 3 ft hitting islands like Santa Cruz and Vanuatu. This actually wasn't the first time a tsunami generated by an earthquake to have struck these islands. Back in April 2007 an 8.1 magnitude earthquake produced a tsunami that killed more than 50 people and caused damage to coastal villages. These islands which are comprised of over 200 lie on the Ring of Fire where most of the earths quakes occur. Places like Japan are known for there multiple quakes. The interesting question is when will we see an earthquake like the one from India that produced that disastrous tsunami hit the Solomon islands or even our coastal areas in California.

Hello fellow classmates,
This is an outdated form!This morning, most of you signed a form that was outdated, therefore today’s signatures are void. What does this mean? It means – ”not to sign” any blank documents!!!! The college is only looking out for themselves. The college is not presenting updated information about the trip.
We haven’t had any safety training about the trip. This trip is poorly plan and lacks planning. I lost total confidence in this trip!
Rule number # 1. Your safety is very important! It just seems that Bakersfield College doesn’t give a damm about it!
This is pretty cool, didn't know that. Well done.
