Good...thanks!

Is there an tsunami?

I think this thread can exist, because the other one is an over view on quake's around the world.

It looks like the earthquake is right next to a volcano.

RSOE EDIS

Does that change anything?

Tsunami warning issued

Warning


The Tsunami Warning continues in effect for the coastal areas of Alaska from Unimak Pass, Alaska (80 miles NE of Dutch Harbor) to Amchitka Pass, Alaska (125 miles W of Adak).

This message is for Information Only for coastal areas of California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia and Alaska from the California-Mexico border to Unimak Pass, Alaska (80 miles NE of Dutch Harbor).

This message is for Information Only for coastal areas of Alaska from Amchitka Pass, Alaska (125 miles W of Adak) to Attu, Alaska.

A Tsunami Warning means that all coastal residents in the warning area who are near the beach or in low-lying regions should move immediately inland to higher ground and away from all harbors and inlets including those sheltered directly from the sea. Those feeling the earth shake, seeing unusual wave action, or the water level rising or receding may have only a few minutes before the tsunami arrival and should move immediately. Homes and small buildings are not designed to withstand tsunami impacts. Do not stay in these structures.

All residents within the warned area should be alert for instructions broadcast from their local civil authorities. Earthquakes of this magnitude are known to generate tsunamis.

Hi there!
The Quake watch thread has many fans, but the rest of us do not follow it on a daily basis, so I think it's nice that there are new threads created about new EQs, cause we're able to learn about them too. However, do not get me wrong, I don't mean to downgrade the thread, on the opposite I believe the Quake watch thread is extremely useful at the end of every year, if you want to know the statistics.
P.S. Beautiful avatar, but even more beautiful name

As for the EQ itself, it's good that these EQs happen in Alaska, a very low populated area, so the damage is quite limited.

He was accurate for date one more time ..
