There was a magnitude 6.1 earthquake in SouthCentral Alaska overnight. It was centered underneath the Talkeetna Mountains. It was around 100 miles Northeast of Anchorage, 27 miles deep. The earthquake was felt from Homer to Fairbanks, and was especially felt strongly in the Mat-Su and Anchorage areas. In Talkeetna, a local described feeling a long rumble, followed by a jolt. Ellen Bets, who lives Northeast of Wasilla said, "It started out gently then grew in magnitude in waves...It lasted more than a minute." There were no immediate reports of damage. There continues to be a high chance for more significant earthquake activity out there. I had a feeling I should have mentioned Alaska being on that list of the places that may become more active when I made the previous post. Other regions to watch would include: Taiwan, Ryukyu Islands(Japan), Izu Islands(Japan), Japan proper, Indonesia(Nias region, Sumatra, Banda and Molucca Seas), Solomon and Santa Cruz Islands, Tonga region, Southern Peru, Northern Chile..
