5.3 by Pt Mackenzie

pretty good guess by me I guessed 5.25 by Kurts richter scale

In 18 after the big one we would have called those shakers!

Pretty much “nailed” that one you did😎

Sad but true.

In Anchorage itt felt like it might turn into a big one, the way the November '18 one did, but it was only because it was so close.

They are saying it's an Aftershock from the 2018 quake??? How long before it's not an Aftershock but just another shaker?

I will admit, I don't miss earthquake

It'll stop being aftershocks when they happen in a different place... notice that the lat/long and depth are virtually identical to the Nov 18 quake.

Years ago, when Redoubt was getting ready to blow, I had a chat with a volcanologist on what her opinion about the next several weeks... She said "geology is a funny thing, it could be in 5 minutes, or 50,000 years- just a blip in time to rocks.

Brought the loader out and moved all the snow in the back yard so could get the boat out and the motor home moved better. Took a break and walked over to the house when it hit. Momma came out the door thinking I might have hit the house with said loader. Looking at the loader out front and me by the door, she said “just another quake then.”
The thing was sharp, though only lasted for a second or two....

Showed me I still have a little PTSD from the big one in 18.

Right!? Like I said earlier, I was in my underwear, being lazy on a Saturday morning, and ran to the doorway in an unheated mud room faster than you can say "indecent exposure".

Last time, in the 11/18 quake, I was at work and had a nice cute redhead with tig ol' bitties hugging me as we sheltered under an I-beam structure in a warehouse... miss that quake.

These earthquakes are Alaska paying the price for ignoring climate change. Just ask Sen. Chuck.

Hit the house? Pfft.

She should know you're a better operator than that!

Morning OB. I was in the Denali theater when the big one hit on my younger brother’s birthday. My question for you is after that experience, were you seemingly able to “sense” another quake was coming seconds before it hit, and that before others did? Lots of talk about this through the years. Curious...

Best,
Bhtr

Momma bear thinks out loud at times, though that has been a huge blessing much-ly😃

That's exactly right. All that melting Arctic ice is running down in the ground cracks and greasing the skids. smile

I was fueling a 190,000 btu heater with diesel and kept missing the spout and spilling it. I even said out loud "c'mon, get your head in the game". Then realized it was an earthquake.

I didn’t feel crap, I was sitting in the car at the Vets office when it occurred.

Back in '92 I slept through 3 sizeable quakes - Mt. Redoubt. I was in a rickety loft in Kenai.
