Saipan, Northern Marianas Earthquake...possible Tsunami?
From here at "ground zero" I can tell you that all is well. According to RadioAustralia:
A powerful earthquake has hit the Northern Marianas sparking concerns of a possible tsunami.
Our reporter in the Northern Marianas, Gemma Casas says buildings in Saipan, the main island of the Northern Marianas, swayed for a few seconds as a quake measuring 7.2 on the richter scale jolted the chain of tiny islands.
Work and classes were momentarily interrupted but the islands' Emergency Management Office says there is no threat of a tsunami despite the intense quake.
The US Geological Survey says the quake was located 408 kilometres north of Saipan and 93 kilometres north, northwest of the volcanic island of Pagan.
Hours before the quake in the Northern Marianas, the USGS recorded a magnitude 5.6 quake hitting the San Francisco Bay Area.
Last month, two strong quakes also jolted the Marianas region which refers to Guam and the Northern Marianas.
In September, the Marianas was also shaken by big quakes measuring up to 7.4 on the richter scale.
Now, with that said, I will now take the opportunity to direct your Saipan interest to a few sites for you to learn more about Saipan.

New YouTube Videos of Saipan (Korean Hip Hop on Saipan)
More from the "He's got WAY too much time on his hands" files....I've filmed a few videos and posted to my YouTube account.
There's the sequel to "See the World" which chronicled my first few months on Saipan....it's entitled "Runaway: See the World Too"
Someone who once lived on Saiipan and who now lives stateside asked me to show what Koblerville looks like since they miss home. So, I can proudly say, that "by popular demand"There are also three sequels to "A Drive Through Saipan" entitled "Another Dive Through Saipan (Koblervill)" and "The Road To Marpi" and "Saipan Drive Through San Antonio."
There are also 2 videos of the Korean B-Boy crew breakdancing at the Paseo De Marianas Street Market. Check them out and let me know if the quality is ok and if you like my musical taste!

Early-Retirement, We Love Saipan, and Tell Me more about my eyes #5 and
A few days ago, while doing a google search for
"side hustle" (I do this to see where my site as well as others'
place in the listings), I noticed a link to a forum in which
which someone was asking for "side hustle ideas."
The forum was hosted at www.early-retirement.org, a
community of individuals devoted to freeing themselves
as early as possible from the rat race, and helping others
do the same. The concept of early retirement is one dear to
my heart having "retired" from corporate employment back
in 1995. When I got to the site, I decided to register
and offer myself as a resource.
Little did I know just how popular that message board
is! Within about 2 minutes, 2 people had viewed my posting,
one had responded. Within 2 hours, close to 50 people
had viewed, and as of today, 3 days later 17 people have
posted and 694 people have viewed my
"From a "retired" nomadpreneur on a Pacific island!"
posting.
But the great news, if you read the exchange
http://early-retirement.org/forums/index.php?board=4.0 (you may need to register or start from the home page) is that the thread got around to inquiries about Saipan, and escapes to paradise, and I recommended checking out WELOVESAIPAN.com. As a result, people have been visiting, signing up and communicating about life here.
Here are two recent ones:
"I am very impressed. I never thought of early retiring there until seeing
this website. I am interested in finding out more."

Hello, Walt!
I've just ordered two of your books. You've done a wonderful job achieving freedom. I'm a doctor, and I've been contacted by CHC in Saipan to join their staff. I'm seriously considering it. I'm also a direct marketer, one-on-one student of Dan Kennedy and fan of Mark Joyner, Joe Vitale, and many others you may know (I'm guessing from your marketing style).
I hope to get to Saipan at least to check out the sweet life, and hopefully to move there with my family!
All the best,
Marc Silverberg, M.D.
