Another Major Earthquake Slams Alaska and Western Canada, Fifteen Quakes in Two Hours!

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


For the second time in two hours, another major earthquake has slammed southeastern Alaska and western Canada, shaking both the Yukon Territory and British Columbia with a M6.4 at a shallow 2.2 km.

The first quake struck at 8:30 eastern US time today, and was quickly followed by FOURTEEN aftershocks of between magnitude 2.5 and 5.2.  This latest M6.4 quake, taking place at 10:18 AM eastern US time, dwarfs the others and is a very dangerous sign that something severe is taking place along the west coast of North America.

People in Washington, Oregon and California need to make absolutely certain they have emergency preparations on-hand.  This type of earthquake “swarm” tends to shake-loose other unstable seismic areas.  For Washington and Oregon, that means the notorious Cascadia Subduction Zone and for California, it means the San Andreas fault.

What is taking place right now in Alaska and Canada is extremely similar to what took place near Japan back in 2011, where, after a Magnitude 7 quake, a staggering magnitude 9.2 struck in the ocean and generated a Tsunami which killed tens-of-thousands in Japan, and unleashed the Fukushima nuclear power plant triple-meltdown.

UPDATE 11:04 AM EDT —

Seismologist Taimi Mulder of the Geologic Survey of Canada says the quakeS occurred on theFairweather Fault, also known as the Queen Charlotte Fault.

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 occurred 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 occurred 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.

UPDATE 11:23 AM EDT —

The USGS is now confirming another FOURTEEEN aftershocks from this latest large earthquake.LINK

UPDATE 11:53 AM EDT —

There have now been a grand total of FORTY-THREE earthquakes in southeastern Alaska / western Canada in the last four hours!

UPDATE 2:30 PM EDT —

As the day has progressed, there have continued to be aftershocks on the Alaska-Canada Border.  As of 2:30 PM EDT, the total number of quakes in this same are is up to 65.

      Is this one of these lowly populated area’s on the map? I assume the locals know their history, having been there and done that in the past, and are making the proper arrangements to ride out the next few days accordingly. If not … it’s their journey. Not much someone from Florida can do that will amount to a hill of beans at this juncture.

      “after a Magnitude 7 quake, a staggering magnitude 9.2 struck in the ocean” – actually there was no ocean quake, there was ONE 6.4 quake in Honshu which barely rattled the locals but was on the Nippon Scale a 9 therefore over hyped, the odds are exceptionally good the resulting Tsunami which happened much later was man made at sea to cover for industrial sabotage at Fukushima using one of the many quakes which happen daily on the Islands as a cover story. They are easy to create with a rock slide or even huge floats on the sea bed which if released all at once will create a wave of displaced water.
