_______________
There is always a big earthquake coming...somewhere.
The U.S. Geological Survey first said the magnitude of the quake was a 7.1. It was recorded at 12:53 p.m. local time Monday afternoon, and centered about 13 miles southeast of Little Sitkin Island.
The USGS has since upgraded the magnitude to a 8.0.

Accounts of the destruction of the Scotch Cap Lighthouse back in the 40s are horrifying. Lets hope there’s no tsunami from this shaker.
Depth changed to 68.4 miles. This was a DEEP one.
