Just saw it too!
Does anybody know what this means for that region? I'm not familiar with Fox, Aleutian Islands.

Really? Preliminary? Ok I think I read it to quick but dang...this and the levee breach what else is going down?

A Tsunami Warning is now in effect which includes the coastal areas of Alaska from Unimak Pass, Alaska (80 miles NE of Dutch Harbor) to Amchitka Pass, Alaska (125 miles W of Adak).

wcatwc.arh.noaa.gov...

This includes an information statement for the entire West Coast of the US and Canada. All the way to the Mexican border. No watches or warnings anywhere yet other than Alaska.

Looks like 2 again but it's actually one.

7.4 and 7.3

Great that's a huge quake. With haarp running at full capacity again. From what I read on an earlier thread.
So that isn't confirmed by any stretch and I'm not mnaking any claims either. Just some possible connection
observed.

I'm on the west coast so do we have a tsunami ? I need info ?

Some quick estimates for time from waves:

Dutch Harbor, Alaska 2028 AKDT JUN 23 0428 UTC JUN 24
Akutan, Alaska 2036 AKDT JUN 23 0436 UTC JUN 24
Cold Bay, Alaska 2149 AKDT JUN 23 0549 UTC JUN 24
Kodiak, Alaska 2210 AKDT JUN 23 0610 UTC JUN 24
Prince Rupert, British Columbia 0123 PDT JUN 24 0823 UTC JUN 24
Crescent City, California 0142 PDT JUN 24 0842 UTC JUN 24

All the above come from the NOAA warning system message

If we can remember, Crescent City Ca was one of the few places in the Continental US where damage occurred from the Japan tsunami.

What levee breach were you referring to?

This is officially upgraded to a 7.4. The initial reports and the first post here showed 7.3, but I posted 7.4 based on the info I received. It's now a 7.4.

Everyone was waiting for that fourth earthquake to go on the ring of fire. Looks like it has just happened. Thanks to ATS for getting news out at any time of day or night (and right on spot too).

A star and a flag!

Umm, how long ago did this levee breach?

supposedly, about an hour ago

Damn thats BIG.

RSOE also reporting on this.

Also weren't we just hit by a CME?

fast-moving stream of solar wind is buffeting Earth's magnetic field. The combined effect of this stream plus a CME expected to arrive on June 24th

spaceweather.com...

Reuters now reporting on the quake;

A major earthquake of 7.4 magnitude hit in the Pacific Ocean on Thursday 107 miles east of Atka, Alaska, and at a depth of about 25 miles in the Pacific Ocean, and a tsunami warning was in effect for coastal Alaska, the U.S. Geologic Survey said

I was just researching the Nebraska Nuclear update situation when I saw the alert for Alaska's EQ. Then I saw your comment on the levee breach. A little surreal.............

I will be keeping an eye on this for the next few hours. Does anyone know how prepared they are in Alaska for a quake of this magnitude?

On a side not there is no alignment with Elenin so they cant blame this quake on it.

Not a word on the major networks about any of this, can you believe it? Of course you can you're here.

Hopefully haarp just blew itself to hell.

from spaceweather.com dated 6/24/2011

STORM WARNING: A fast-moving stream of solar wind is buffeting Earth's magnetic field. The combined effect of this stream plus a CME expected to arrive on June 24th has prompted NOAA forecasters to declare a 30% to 35% chance of geomagnetic storms during the next 24 hours. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras.

and I guess 7.4 mag quakes too.

The levee at Brownsville, Nebraska near the Cooper Nuclear Plant, just broke at 9:45 pm central time June 23, 2011. Looks like all Hell is breaking loose now with the earthquakes in Alaska and the Tsunamis now. OMG!! My thoughts and prayers are with everyone having to deal with these disasters world wide. Please everyone, try to stay safe!
