Big enough to generate one

Wow. This is rather frightening.

So much for my planned five-star vacation in the Rat Islands!

"Cleansing Wave" for Washington state coast?

[California74]

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.

[BIGLOOK]

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.

Big Enough alright, and also apparently fairly shallow.

Local Date: Monday June 26th, 2006 Local Time: 06:39 PM AKDT Universal Time: 06/27/2006 02:39:29.789 UTC
Magnitude: 7.10 ML
Latitude: 51.7757 Longitude: 175.5987
Depth: 9 miles (15 km)

---

9 miles is pretty shallow, but alternate solutions give as shallow as 3 miles. However the Tsunami Warning Center says:

-------------------------

To: Tsunami warning system participants in the U.S. West Coast States, Alaska, and British Columbia
From: NOAA/NWS/West Coast-Alaska Tsunami Warning Center

(Experimental Web Product) Subject: Tsunami Information Statement #1

issued 06/26/2006 at 6:44PM AKDT

A strong earthquake has occurred, but a tsunami IS NOT expected along the California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, or Alaska coast. NO tsunami warning or watch is in effect for these areas. Based on the earthquake magnitude and historic tsunami information, a damaging tsunami IS NOT expected along the California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, and Alaska coasts. Some of these areas may experience non-damaging sea level changes. At coastal locations which have experienced strong ground shaking, local tsunamis are possible due to underwater landslides.

At 6:40 PM Alaskan Daylight Time on June 26, an earthquake with preliminary magnitude 6.5 occurred 25 miles south of Buldir I., Alaska. ------
