The United States Geological Survey recorded a magnitude 7.2 earthquake that hit off Alaska’s southern coast late Saturday. A tsunami warning was issued for nearby areas but was later canceled.
USGS said the quake struck offshore about 55 miles southwest of Sand Point, Alaska, at a depth of 13 miles around 2248 local time or about 0248 ET.
Homes violently shook during the quake.

The tsunami alert was posted for about an hour across Aleutian islands, extending from Unimak Pass to Kennedy Entrance.

Social media users reported minor flooding.
Nearby, earlier in the day, the Alaska Volcano Observatory said the Shishaldin Volcano erupted in a “significant explosion,” sending an ash cloud soaring up to 40,000 feet above sea level.
One week ago, a swarm of earthquakes preceded the eruption of a volcano on the Reykjanes peninsula in Iceland.

“The United States Geological Survey recorded……”
Was this the real number or seasonally adjusted?
Blame “globull” warming in three, two, one, ….
Yep.
Global warming is responsible for both increases and decreases of volcanic activity.
Sunspot activity does affect seismic activity, I recall reading somewhere. So, heliogenic (to apparently coin a term), not anthropogenic.
If this guys thinking holds correct, the energy transfer South along the plate edge will could bring Mag. 5-6 quake to Oregon coast area.
Tsunami warning downgraded.
I didn’t feel nothing in Anchorage, and they usually wake me up. We had about a 5.0 a couple weeks ago, 10 miles from town. Very strange, it was just one big jerk that lasted about 2 seconds. I told my wife it felt like an elephant fell out of bed. I was downstairs. My wife is a 110 lbs.
What the hell, bruh, , get that poor starbing women a goyslop burger and a super sized order of imitation fried taters… you crule bastard !
I’m trying. She has that petite Asian thing working against me.
She sounds nice, so be sure that you’re never “one big jerk that lasted about 2 seconds,” as you wrote.

Mirthquake.
I rather doubt it was at a depth of 13 miles. That’s 68,640 feet deep. Sheesh.
Why not?
How thick do you think the crust is?
How deep is the Aleutian subduction zone?
How deep have other earthquakes in this area been?
Not only is da Erf flat, it’s wafer-thin. Mining is a conspiracy theory, too.

13 miles is a shallow quake. The shallower the more powerful. Anchorage had a 7.0 about 5 years ago. Very powerful, it shook for more than 1 minute, and did a lot of damage throughout the area. It was called a shallow quake and was about 25 miles deep. The shock wave felt like a train or plane crash was in your front yard, and my house was about 18 miles from the epicenter.
So … another of those old DoD experiments — or payback from the Syrians and Turks for February’s event?
Today, Kodiak; tomorrow, the Yellowstone caldera!
Ya’s all probably already know the one about the optical Aleutian, don’tcha?
“Homes shook violently” reads the article, but neglects to report the cause. Homes wuz shakin’ ’cause Homes wuz jonesin’.

Why are there no comments on twitter anymore?
Fuck Twitter.
Because rapid info sharing threatens the narrative , in real time.
That dude has a lot of ‘splainin to do when his wife sees the clip. He almost forgot the kid in the highchair!
