Magnitude 6.2 Gulf of Alaska quake reported
Posted: November 12, 2012
An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.4 struck in the Gulfof
Alaska on Monday — the largest quake in that region in nearly 25
years.
No tsunami warnings were issued, and there were no reports of damage
despite tremors being felt across a large part of southern Alaska. A
series of aftershocks also were recorded.
Natasha Ruppert, a seismologist with the Alaska Earthquake Information
Center, said this was the largest earthquake in the region since 1987
and 1988, whenquakes of magnitude 7.8 and 7.7, respectively, struck.
She said Monday's earthquake wasn't of the kind that would generate
tsunami concerns, as it was relatively small and involved two sides of
the fault moving horizontally (Common in magma movement) — not
vertical motion. Ruppert said the earthquake was not directly related
to the magnitude 7.7 quake that struck off the west coast of Canada
last month, though she said the two arein same plate boundary system.
Monday's quake struck about 150 miles south of Cape Yakataga, and
about 180 miles from Yakutat. People reported feeling it from as far
away as Sitka, Juneau and Anchorage, which is nearly 340 miles away,
according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
Louise Petersen, who works at the Glass Door Bar in Yakutat, said
items on the wall moved a little, but the quake didn't feel very
strong.
She said it wasn't unusual, "but we don't get them too often."
