[ link to www.ctvnews.ca] Quoting: Goofy for God Four major earthquakes have been linked to the Queen Charlotte-Fairweather fault system in the last century. In 1927 a magnitude 7.1 (Ms - surface wave magnitude) earthquake occurred in the northern part of Chichagof Island, in 1949 a magnitude 8.1 (Mw - moment magnitude) earthquake occured along the Queen Charlotte fault near the Queen Charlotte Islands, in 1958 movement along the Fairweather fault near Lituya Bay created a magnitude 7.9 (Ms) earthquake, and in 1972 a magnitude 7.4 (Ms) earthquake occured near Sitka. The 1958 Lituya Bay earthquake, which was felt as far away as Seattle, Washington, caused a large rockslide which deposited the contents of an entire mountainside into the bay. The gigantic wave that resulted from this rockslide scoured the shores of the bay down to bedrock and uprooted trees as high as 540 meters above sea level. Fishing boats were carried on the wave at a reported height of at least 30 meters over the spit at the entrance to the bay and tossed into the open ocean. [ link to www.aeic.alaska.edu] |

User ID: 73296563 Chile 05/01/2017 11:04 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Re: Earthquake Thread ~ Always Updated*5.5 Afghanistan ~ Pg 20354 Hello all! [ link to i.imgsafe.org (secure)] - The danger starts now for Chile! The activity usually dies down and eases just before the mainshock arrives. Tarapaca as a comparison here. This is exactly what is now happening in Valparaiso. Only one 4+ in 48hours. My best guess is within 72 hours. Something feels off today, I feel dizzy constanly (healthy person). This post is not to provoke fear but inform that the activity dying down was expected, which again makes the situation in Chile urgent. Alaskan quake again would fit the reaction elsewhere before the main location. -Finland Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74803383 bump |

Huge Alaska quake could unleash strong California tsunami, study says From 2014 Monday's 7.9 magnitude earthquake turned out to be too deep to cause a tsunami on the West Coast of the United States. But seismic experts have long warned that a massive quake in Alaska could cause damaging wave activity along the California coast. The U.S. Geological Survey released a study last year detailing such a scenario. The study was modeled on a 9.1 magnitude quake in Alaska, bigger and shallower than the one Monday. The report said such a quake could cause a tsunami that would damage California harbors and cause mass evacuations. [ link to www.latimes.com] Love to Mother Earth Always |
