Ironbender,
I have lots of friends in Kasilof (used to have a place there myself). Is that area without power now?

Not sure where power is out. The 10K number came from a news report.
K-Beach Rd is damaged at the Kasilof end.

Just talked with a buddy about 3 miles up the highway north of the K-Beach road and Sterling highway intersection and he has power.

Wasn't sure how to grab a screen shot, but the map at the bottom of the page shows the location for those not familiar with the area http://earthquaketrack.com/quakes/2016-01-24-10-30-30-utc-7-1-127ps here's one

Fairbanks street lights swayed from that quaker, 29 gallon fish tank had a tsunami. Pretty good quaker that shimmies 400 miles away. (I'm sure I would have slept through but for our earthquake sensor, a cheap wood closet door, that started creaking for a good while before the shimmying hit.) Glad people closer seem to be okay.

Just walked through the door getting home from SHOT when it started. Knocked stuff around pretty good.

Offshore platform cook inlet - I know what the tip of a spinning rod feels like now. Cleared shelves and shut stuff down.

Interesting plot. Earthquake cross section through the Cook Inlet region Here is a cross section through the Cook Inlet region. The circles are historical earthquakes. Note that this morning’s earthquake occurred inside the Pacific Plate. This is a frequent source of earthquakes in the region. Its depth is very important because it demonstrates that the earthquake has nothing to do with processes in the crust including known faults, volcanoes, bodies of water, sedimentary basins---or any other type of local geology. This earthquake occurred in what was once (millions of years ago) the crust under the Pacific Ocean. As the Pacific Plate is pulled slowly into the earth (a couple inches per year), the stretching creates earthquake. The location, fault orientation, and slip of the M7.1 earthquake align perfectly with this stretching action.

I'm going with the theory that "Alaskan Frackers Do It Deeper". That's my plot and I'm sticking to it.

We were rolling pretty good in the 4th floor of the Marriot anchorage last night. We spent 2 hours outside in the truck, waiting for the lobby to clear of folks and mgmt to give the all clear that gas lines were intact. That was one of two big ones I remember since I got here in 95. My lovely bride lived thru the Loma Prieta quake in 89, so keeping her calm was probably the most exciting part of the evening!

Funny how this wasn't really known until plate tectonics theory in the 1960's! Only criticism is the directions (NW-SE) should be reversed! Cheers, Chris

Cheers, Chris Graphic location: http://earthquake.alaska.edu/m71-iniskin-earthquake-evolving-contentNot sure why you think directions should be reversed. The pacific plate moves in a SE-->NW direction and is the plate being subducted.

Heard from our friend out on FRR, said it shook him awake and emptied some of his cupboards, gonna need some new wine glasses by the sounds of it. No structural damage.

Thank you Ironbender, that's just the geo in me with cross sections. Usually do x-sections south left to north right, west to east same. That one I would do SE to NW left to right. Mining engineers on the other hand often do them back to front.....
Thanks, Chris
