Must be a slow apocalypse news day.

I'm gonna have to break this statement down.

"Inconsequential" = We don't know that yet.
"mag 7" = Exciting!
"near the arctic" = Damn straight! That gives credence to the 'round earthquake path' theory.

Exciting!

Yeah, but a 7+ EQ AND a levee breach near a nuke plant in Nebraska, at about the same time....a little surreal

It's not that really, it wasn't the quake that brought me to this thread it was the tsunami warning.. I think we're all a little shook still from our last tsunami experience, so the concern is understandable.

The Tsunami Warning is canceled for the coastal areas from Unimak Pass, Alaska (80 miles NE of Dutch Harbor) to Amchitka Pass, Alaska (125 miles W of Adak).

NO destructive tsunami has been recorded, and NO tsunami danger exists along the coasts of the U.S. west coast states, Alaska, and British Columbia. Local authorities can assume all clear upon receipt of this message.

They just said on CNN the tsunami warning was canceled. Lets hope this comes to nothing.

Doesn't say so on the CNN site.

Well it wouldn't would it

Yeah I know. It doesn't get slower than CNN...

Especially when it might be important

Thanks for that update. After they dropped the size and deepened it by at least 10 miles I began to wonder if it would produce a tsunami. I don't think any sizable waves were ever seen...not that I have read about yet, just that this had the potential to produce a damaging tsunami.

I'm still curious about aftershocks and why we haven't seen any yet. The USGS page actually seems a little "off" to me atm...maybe it's just me though.

Right.

Maybe it's a pre-shock?
Hopefully not. The solar storm is an interesting coincidence.

I thought about both pre-shock and the solar storm myself. I have a gut feeling that CME's and quakes are related, not a shred of proof but I keep an eyeball on it

Maybe this dude was off by a couple of days:

Maybe or maybe not.

He might still be spot on if this is just a warm up.

I'm wondering that, too.
We had a foreshock in Japan.
