Didn't feel it, some people around here did. I imagine people in anchorage really felt it.

I was in a car so I felt nothing in Anchorage. I called my office and they felt it and said it lasted a bit and it was one of those that just kind of rocks things, not a shaker.

Been down graded.

a reply to: GoShredAK

Definitely felt it in Anchorage. I want to say I felt it for about 20 seconds.

@Sandman, Blaine, everyone else......

Must of been quite the little jolt, I know of a few people who felt it pretty significantly way out in North Kenai. I bet It'll will be another year or two before we get another one that size.

Not many aftershocks from that Alaskan 5.8 (6.2mb)
only 2 showing on USGS
and one on Wilber3 ds.iris.edu...

I can't get AEC search to respond to my query, seems no data after 31/03/2015 !!??

Hi Muzzy,

These weren't on land. Did you feel them at all?

Hope you and yours are doing well.

No too far away, 1200km (700mi),
would have to be over M7.6 to feel one at that distance.
Yes we are well thanks, trying to keep warm, the wind is freezing, straight from the South Pole, I don't know how those south islanders cope, it was -25C at Lake Pukaki earlier in the week.

Quite a few big aftershocks showing on USGS, more and bigger than one would expect from a M6.0, could be the start of a swarm?

Thank you for posting this.

It's funny, I was looking at Japan last night and thinking about all the earthquake activivty they have there.

And the liquifaction they have there. How the heck did they think building nuclear power plants would be a good idea.

Felt a bit of a shaker less than an hour ago on Hawaii island.

USGS has it at a 5.2 currently.

I thought this was interesting. Man, they are blowing the heck out of that place.

All the copper and gold there getting out of this mine is Wow.

Could these explosions set off larger earthquakes in the area?

Since our quake watchers are apparently asleep...

...or busy re-writing the QVSData program, or bored because relatively speaking this years dearth of big earthquakes does not raise the blood pressure, or enjoying the summer unless you live in Ireland where it has been cancelled.

M2.4 sounds a lot for a quarry blast, but its only 0.6TTNT or 60 kilograms of TNT
spread out over a big area with multiple charges though I guess it would carry a thump.
One of the Stone Quarries here in Wgtn does it from time to time, shows up as a M1.5 or thereabouts.

hmm..
