A magnitude 7.5 earthquake occurred near Sandpoint, Alaska yesterday afternoon. The quake generated a small tsunami - 2 waves that were 4 feet, 3 inches high. Yesterday's major earthquake was likely an aftershock of a magnitude 7.8 that hit the same region a few months ago. This has been the first magnitude 7 or greater in the world since. There seems to be not much going on elsewhere worldwide. Although, more mag. 6+ elsewhere are likely this week, anytime or day now. Other potential candidates for the next mag. 6 or greater would include: Chile, Bolivia or Peru, Central America, Indonesia(Banda Sea region, Sumatra), Philippines(Luzon), New Guinea, Tonga, Kermadec Islands, Japan, Kuril Islands, Afghanistan, Prince Edward Islands(Southwest Indian Ridge), Greece.. More seismic activity has also started heating up again in Southern California. Yesterday morning, a magnitude 3.1 occurred in the Mojave Desert, which was an aftershock of a magnitude 3.6 that occurred the previous evening. A magnitude 3.4 occurred 13 miles Southwest of Ocotillo Wells at 3:30 this morning. There may still be more going on today. There has also been some more activity taking place in Northern California.
