The foreshocks of the 2011 Japan Earthquake were on the same fault as the M9. These quakes in SoCal were not on the San Andreas. Not saying the "Big One" wont happen, but its a way bigger stretch than in the case of 2011 Japan.

Absolute class move to more than counter an absolutely classless move on Jack's part. As a broadcaster, I am embarrassed to consider Jack Edwards as one of us, there are homers and then there's him, zero accountability whatsoever. Bruins fans deserve better. Very well done, Pat.
A thread of video and photos from today’s significant tornado near Mount Vernon, IN. Above all, my thoughts and prayers for all who were impacted by this tornado, and the effects of

Again, it's NOT impossible that additional stress was put on the San Andreas, but the possibility is very small. These quakes compared to the 2011 Japan tragedy are completely different cases. That being said, always good to be prepared for when the Big One inevitably does happen
@_Mrtnn
One more tidbit of info, the fault systems are entirely different. The Tohoku fault that produced the 2011 Japan quake and tsunami is a megathrust system that ruptures every 60-70 years. The San Andreas is more of a strike-slip system. Still dangerous, but way different.
@_Mrtnn
Per latest info given through
@USGS
press conference, the chance of an addition M7 in the sequence is roughly 10%, and roughly 50% of a M6 or higher. Activity continues to drift north-northwest, and not towards the San Andreas fault zone.

@NYRangers
It’s hard to come up with any argument that suggests anything other than that this team has packed it in and has completely quit, with the exception of Igor.
I said before I was debating on if I even wanted to watch Game 5, I definitely won’t be watching Game 6.
@RadStang
@_Mrtnn
@USGS
Another difference though between the two, as you probably are aware of, is the proximity of the two faults to populated areas. Even at a lower magnitude, the San Andreas Fault being extremely close to LA will cause quake damage close to 2011 in Japan, but no tsunami.
I’ve decided to pen my thoughts as a broadcaster, regarding the tone-deaf comments from Jack Edwards today. He is what I aspire NOT to be in a play by play broadcaster.

@Capitals
As a Rangers fan this is disappointing, the organ music provided a great soundtrack to the Rangers vs Caps rivalry over the past 15 years. In agreement with the Caps fan base on this one, seriously wrong move by the organization.

Second this. Im furloughed from my main job and this is my only revenue source right now. This is peak hours being missed out on.
@RadStang

@USGS
Indeed, that is a very worrying factor in the eventual disaster. Japan benefits from having a very strict construction code to protect from earthquake damage, way more advanced than in the US. Liquefaction will also play a major role in damage.
@NYRangers
Watching from a wedding reception.
If this keeps up, I might be crashing someone else’s wedding IF they force a Game 7.
Pleeeeeeeease don’t be getting my hopes up for nothing.
@NYRangers
When your goaltender is generating more offense than most of your top 6, that’s not a great sign. Praying for a better third period while it’s still only a one goal game.
As a
@NotThrashers
fan, I’d love to see the
@NHLJets
honor their franchise history in ATL like the
@NHLCanes
do for Hartford. Would be a great idea to play a preseason game or two at XL Center, I feel Hartford fans would be more on board.

Nope. If anybody, would much rather target Tomas Hertl.
Too big a cap hit, too questionable health wise, and too big of an asking price from Buffalo for Eichel.
@RickCarpiniello
This period could potentially be the turning point, for Georgiev, for Zibanejad, and for the entire team. Best period in YEARS for the Rangers, and how sweet it is for it to be against Philly. Another opportunity for consistency, hopefully this time they seize it.

@NHLBlackhawks
Ok? You mean like how Chicago signed Hossa by free agency, traded for Patrick Sharp, and won two draft lotteries and got Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews?
That's how rebuilds work.
@ReedTimmerAccu
If there was a time we could really use a bust, its right now. Last thing we need during the height of this pandemic is a devastating tornado outbreak.
After 10 years & six trips to the playoffs, I finally got to call a series win.
What a huge moment for this team, the franchise, the fans who waited 14 years, & who else but Hobbs with the season he is having, to get the winner against his former team.
Vibes are immaculate.
Had a good view of today’s likely brief tornado here in Newburgh, this was right as it was weakening as it passed SR 66 at 5:27pm. Preceded by intense lightning and followed by several inches of rain and flash flooding.

on the Caps’ Stanley Cup victory. Always great listening and learning from you guys!
I’ve been with the Thunderbolts since 2017, we used to to win once or twice all year vs Peoria. Last couple seasons it became a rivalry & Evansville proved themselves a worthy adversary. This year Evansville finally wins the season series. This team has come such a long way and
Definitely not what I was hoping for, but it is what it is. It’s been an honor and a pleasure to provide play by play for the
@evvthunderbolts
this season. This franchise has a bright future ahead of it, and I hope to be a part of it again next season. Thank you Evansville!

Don't miss the high taxes and high costs, not to mention the traffic. Other than that, I loved living in Connecticut for the couple years I was there.

This right here is why its easy to pull for a kid like Nick Wright. He’s a great teammate & tough as nails, but this is what you dont see. After a 2hr practice, Nick stays on the ice for another 35 minutes doing edge work w Ben Owen.
Tax Day has arrived, and although financially I am feeling some pain, seeing the ice still in here at the Fordtress, and the guys skating on it, definitely helps make things feel better.
Random stat that I forgot to mention last night, the
@evvthunderbolts
were the only team in the league to finish the season without a single shootout appearance.
Only season in franchise history this has happened, not sure if it’s an
@SPHL
first or not.

Also it seems like they fixed my ratings already so I’ll take that as a good sign that they will do the same for you. The big question that remains to be answered is Will they compensate us for missing out on some of the most prime working time we can get.
Asking for positive thoughts and/or prayers, a close relative is seriously ill at this time and my family and I could use as much positivity as possible right now and over the course of this weekend.
Thank you.
Hara Arena, before and after. Crazy the difference only a couple years and an EF-3 tornado can make. Such a shame to see a great building like this end up this way.

BREAKING: For the safety of our fans, players, team personnel and arena staff, the Southern Professional Hockey League (SPHL) announced that due to concerns over the COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak, it has suspended the 2019-2020 season effective immediately.
10 years ago today, I officially chose hockey broadcasting as my career!
On 12/30/11, I was given game notes while at the NYR @ Florida game with friends, & after a very fun “call” from the stands, I decided it was what I wanted to do. 10 years, 250+ pro games later, here I am!
It’s now been 2 months since March 7th, the last
@evvthunderbolts
broadcast of 19-20.
To me, this past month has at least gone faster than the first.
My family & I are doing well. I look forward to when we can get to a new normal, & I can’t wait to get back in the booth.
Very well put by Coach. Times have been tough, but there are still 31 games left to play, and only 8 points out of a playoff spot. With players returning in the coming weeks, the fortunes of the club will only get better.

With tonight’s win and Roanoke’s loss,

now need no more than 8 points out of 24 possible remaining to punch their ticket to the postseason. Can clinch as soon as Saturday in Huntsville. HSV/KNX ending in regulation also helps EVV’s top-chances.

Laviolette has been excellent but the whole coaching staff with Peca, Muse, Housley is such a perfect blend. Not to mention Quick finding his game again thanks to Benoit Allaire.
Since the

has not & isn’t doing a Broadcaster of the Year award again this year, I’ll share who I would have voted for if there was one. There are many great voices in the SPHL, but my vote would have gone to
@DrewBlevinsPxP
of
@Marksmen_Hockey
, who had a fantastic 1st year
@OhRyanMead
Really hoping for Kris Knoblauch. Andrew Brunette and Jay Leach I would consider as well. Wouldn't be opposed to bringing in Laviolette as an assistant coach.

I've studied meteorology and seismology independently for 20 years and counting, since childhood, and can confirm that these tweets have nothing but fact behind them! I am happy to have helped inform so many in face of some people's fearmongering to get attention with false info.
Want to come to the game AND listen to the broadcast at the same time in real time? Now you can!
Bring a pocket FM radio & tune in to 97.1 from your seats, bring headphones or listen at low volume.
