Update: 10/11/21

A magnitude 6.9 earthquake struck the Alaska peninsula earlier this morning. The U.S. Tsunami Warning System said there was no threat of a tsunami after the earthquake. The quake was upgraded from a preliminary magnitude of 6.5 and had a depth of 31.6 miles. There were no reports of injuries or damage following the event. Yesterday, there were two strong earthquakes just off of Hawaii's Big Island. The first quake was magnitude 6.1 and the second was magnitude of 6.2. There was no threat of a tsunami. The Hawaii Department of Transportation said that there was no damage from the earthquake at airport runways, commercial harbors, or highway bridges. At a gas station in Naalehu, the refrigerator display doors were swung open and items fell onto the floor. There continues to be high levels of seismic activity in throughout the world. The potential for more significant earthquakes somewhere out there in the world any time now or within the next 2 days is still high so far. Other places that may be potentially active include Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, the Southwestern Pacific(Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, Tonga), Japan, Kuril Islands, Chile, or Peru.. It has not been very active in the Continental U.S. over the past 2-3 days. There have not been any new small quakes reported in the New Madrid Seismic Zone or in Eastern TN/Appalachian Mountains over the past several days. There has been no activity going on in Western Texas and there has not been very much going on in California either. I'm not sure what could be next. It has not felt like anything interesting happening anywhere in the States. Perhaps there may be more noticeable activity taking place in parts of the Rockies or Eastern CA/Nevada anytime now. There could be more activity occurring in the Central and/or Eastern U.S. anytime this week. It has overall felt like more or less of the same. There is no telling whether something significant could be going on in this part of the country in the near future. It is possible for something widely felt to happen in the Central U.S. or in Appalachians, but intraplate earthquake zones are not easy to understand. I will be having to do more research on this in another post.
