ALASKA has been busy today with moderate size shakers.
Quit jumping around.
Is it my imagination or has the entire Pacific “ring of fire” been exceptionally active in say the last 45-60 days?
Thanks!
The ring of fire is making it’s way clockwise eh?
I don't know about the Pacific, but it's been on the radio a few times down here lately.
Thanks for the Ping, Global2010.

?next on down through Washington state, then Oregon, then the big one for San Fransisco?
They're lamenting the flight of families (like in Mom, Dad and kids kind) from the city - and we know who flocks TO the city.
Now, were YOU God, what would you do?
What is that old story about wicked cities...
Um seems like it to me.
Alaska and the next Clockwise in the ring is Washington/Oregon.
Micro quakes in Wash. make a perfect little line from Seattle down to Portland Oregon in the last week.
Alaska is always active. There are charts you can look at. It’s amazing how many small quakes they always have.
Can’t hurt to be on the safe side.
I was remembering the Bible passage last night about quakes and more quakes.
Not so nervous when the big quakes hit Indonesia but when they tick around like they seem to have been this last couple of weeks to our area I start Praying for micro quakes only.
Not many long haulers on the coast the supply trucks for Safeway/Wal Mart/Gas ect. drive over the coast range to their designation and then back over.
He will be fine.
It’s A SIGN! /sarc
148 Peruvians died in a collapsed Cathedral in the August quake there.
So were they a bunch of hedonist gays or something?

What I found interesting was the 5.0 quake near Iceland today. Isn’t that rather unusual? I really don’t know.
When I lived in Alaska we were always having quakes.....large and small. I’m afraid we became a bit complacent about them. Not a good thing to do.
Hey for years the families have been flocking to the distant suberbs from San Fran.
However in the last year I have learned a huge personal lesson not to try and 2nd guess God.
No. What they "were" was in the wrong place, at the wrong time. Don't know about the hedonist gay part. ;o)
Iceland is on the Mid-Atlantic ridge. moderate earthquakes are fairly routine there.
We’re seeing the “attention effect” - people who never used to look at worldwide earthquake sites are doing so now, and the internet makes such information more available.
We don’t need Spirits to know Seattle is due. Might be right now or a thousand years from now, but it’s coming.
I relize that it is micro quaking non stop.
However being south of it in the tsunami zone my interest is when the quakes go red on the USGS map.
Meaning 6.0 +
Not really. They don't get them every day, but somewhere along the midAtlantic ridge shakes that much now and then. It's hardly ever huge like they have in the Ring of Fire.
Quite a few people around here seem to really sincerely believe natural disasters are, or are about to, punish the wicked.
It has been active, but it seems to be so periodically. Not unusual.
I'm just a mom who worries - that's my job.
Don't ya hate when that happens? Kinda like how dangerous it is to pray for patience. You may suddenly find yourself in mega situations that calls for a lot of patience...
Oregon coast is every 300 to 500 yrs and right now we are at the 300yrs marker so give or take 200yrs.
Yes, that would unnerve me if I was where you are.
Okay. Thank you both.

After you lived in Alaska, I imagine that just about any place on earth would seem quiet to you. Perhaps you might even find the San Andreas fault zone to be a steady calm place to live. ;-)
This 5.0 quake was actually closer to Greenland than Iceland:
825 km (510 miles) ESE of Qaqortoq (Julianehab), Greenland
945 km (580 miles) SSE of Tasiilaq (Angmagssalik), Greenland
960 km (590 miles) SW of REYKJAVIK, Iceland
1260 km (780 miles) ESE of NUUK (GODTHAB), Greenland
The Reykjanes Ridge is an active seismic zone, yet because there are many more active seismic zones all over the world, people might tend to overlook this area.
Also, this year this zone has been more quiet than in the past, so it would be only natural if someone viewed this as an unusual event for the area.

Historic Seismicity
Magnitude 5.0 - REYKJANES RIDGE
Some years ago I was in Alaska right when they had a 6.5 or so earthquake, epicentered just across a bay, within eyeshot.
I didn’t even notice. I was on a bus at the time, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I was kind of disappointed, having never been in an earthquake before.
not only was she butt-ugly, she had snake eyes even then.
And apart from liver spots and white hair, he hasn't changed a bit.
at least going by the past two days.
Yesterday was on the left side of the ‘circle’, and today is at the top.
Tomorrow?
I sure hope my eskimoian mistress is ok
When my wife and I lived in Palmer, we had earthquakes reguarly - sometimes a 4.0 or a 5.0 every few months. I’m used to them, but my wife was raised in South Africa, which is one of the world’s quietest seismic zone. One night, when we were first married and sleeping in a little cabin overlooking the Chugach Range, the cabin started shaking and rumbling all around us. My wife woke up and yelled, “What is it?”
I said, half-asleep, “It’s about a 4.5,” and then I rolled over and went back to sleep.
And that was the first time I was called to task for a comment made in total innocence.
Well, she was probably relieved it wasn't a polar bear.
I was stuned when I read that because my chauffeur had pretty much the same dream. Said it wasn't going to be a peu de tremblement, either. More like one of those class mixers (Bill Gates out begging with the rest of us).
That is the most traffic of quakes I have ever seen.
All over the globe except for the USA lower 48.
Fine by me.
LOL Not exactly Dancing with the Stars.
LOL!
Damn AL Baby you sound like Ricky Nelson in Travling Man LOL!
Sea story.
While transiting the Aleutians, as a third mate, many years ago, the second mate told me about a note (Note B), on the chart upon which we were navigating.
The Navy had filled a Victory ship with explosives and a depth charge ignitor to test deep sea, large, underwater explosions.
The Navy sunk the vessel far off the Aleutions, expecting it to sink to a pre-dertimined depth and then explode.
The vessel sank to a point of equilibrium and sunk no more to the desired level, but drifted by undersea current and came to rest upon the Aleutian shelf.
And there it sits, Note B.
