I was just fooling around at the usgs site and did a edit search for 'rat' on their latest eq listing. Man, that place is shakin'! Lots of 2's, 3's and 4's. Its sure know wonder that the 'most dangerous catch' fisherman are hit with rogue waves like crazy. That and collapsing selves, perhaps together, like a chicken and an egg.

Good, barring it triggering an undersea landslide, no tsunami risk at 6.0

That area, as 68 grunt notes, has enough quakes that pretty much anything that can slide has slid...

Glad you got all that info down. I saw it, then went back a minute later and it had changed to a 6.0.

I was thinking I was seeing things.

Great, I worry over a DPRK missile launch and now an Aleutian 7.1 quake........

I'll wait for the 2nd and 3rd evals.

Thanks for the post.
