A tsunami warning was canceled early Saturday for portions of British Columbia, Canada, and southeastern Alaska.
The warning was issued following a 7.5-magnitude earthquake that struck off the coast of Alaska 63 miles west of Craig, a town on Prince of Wales Island, and 208 miles south of the capital of Juneau.
An 8.0-magnitude earthquake struck off the Solomon Islands in the South Pacific on Wednesday, triggering a tsunami that killed five people.

Pavlof and Cleveland volcanoes in Alaska are erupting, with Pavlof, the one connected to the mainland, is today spewing ash 20,000 feet into the air. Both have lava flowing already, and are located within the Aleutian Islands area.
An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 5.1 struck Canada on Friday, the government said.
The location is about 13 miles from Shawville, Quebec, near the Ontario border.
A magnitude 6.8 earthquake rattled the coast of southern Chile early Monday, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.
The powerful quake was centered about 626 kilometers (388 mi) west of Puerto Aisen, Chile.
The Sea of Okhotsk is an arm of the Pacific formed by the Kamchatka peninsula, a zone of legendary seismic activity. An earthquake struck about 250 miles northwest of the city of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, and registered either 8.0 (according to Russian monitors) or 8.2 (say the Americans) on the Richter scale. It was reported to have occurred 375 miles under the sea bed, which could account for its being felt so far away.
It was felt in Moscow! :spooked:
Moscow is 4,000 miles from the epicenter. That's like an earthquake in Anchorage being felt in Miami. :spooked:

WHOOOOOSH!
Three dozen earthquakes over the past week in central Arkansas shook shelves, rattled nerves and prompted speculation about their cause.
"Are they being being triggered or are they natural? That's something we don't know," Arkansas Geological Survey scientist Scott Ausbrook said Sunday.
The chances of so many temblors in the region in such a short time are "Powerball kind of odds," Ausbrook said. "What was unusual was to have four different areas in the state to be active in the same week."
More than two dozen quakes recorded since Wednesday have been centered north of Morrilton, Arkansas. The strongest, on Wednesday and Thursday nights, had reported magnitudes of 3.5 and 3.4.. . .
Disturbing how a lot of obscure fault lines are rumbling but very little out of the ordinary coming from the New Madrid Fault line.
Going on 201 years since it's last shaker in 1812. :eek:
This was the last in a series of four of these that started on 12/16/1811 at 2:15 am, and averaged between 7.0 and 8.6 in magnitude:
February 7, 1812, 0945 UTC (4:45 a.m.); (M ~7.4 – 8.6) epicenter near New Madrid, Missouri. New Madrid was destroyed. At St. Louis, Missouri, many houses were severely damaged, and their chimneys were toppled. This shock was definitively attributed to the Reelfoot Fault by Johnston and Schweig. It was uplift along this reverse fault segment, in this event, that created waterfalls on the Mississippi River, disrupted the Mississippi River at Kentucky Bend, created a wave that propagated upstream and caused the formation of Reelfoot Lake.
The earthquakes were felt as far away as New York City and Boston, Massachusetts, where ground motion caused church bells to ring.
Hundreds of aftershocks followed over a period of several years. Aftershocks strong enough to be felt occurred until the year 1817. The largest earthquakes to have occurred since then were on January 4, 1843, and October 31, 1895, with magnitude estimates of 6.0 and 6.6 respectively.

A rare earthquake, registering magnitude 4.2, rattled the western part of Michigan on Saturday afternoon, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.
The quake struck at about 12:30 p.m. local time five miles south of Galesburg and nine miles southeast of Kalamazoo, the USGS said.

And another in Cali - - -
For the second time in less than a month, a small earthquake jangled nerves early Sunday when it struck on the west side of Los Angeles. No damage or injuries were reported.
The quake measured 3.9 on the Richter Scale and was centered near the communities of View Park and Windsor Hills, adjoining neighborhoods in the Baldwin Hills, a mostly unincorporated area near Inglewood and Culver City, Calif., the U.S. Geological Service reported. It struck at 4:07 a.m. PT.. . .

I guess they are rare and are called, Tidal Bores.
I was thinking more along the lines of what happened on 2/7/1812 near island 10 of the Mississippi River near the New Madrid fault line. A severe thrust uplift caused the river to flow in reverse for several hours.
It has happened twice that I am aware of in that exact spot, once in 1811 and then again in 1812. :spooked:
That would take some MAJOR forces to drive a river as large as the Mississippi backwards. :yes:

Yep. Three Mile Island! Not far from where I live. TMI had the partial meltdown when I was a kid. My parents sent my older brother and I to my aunt and uncle's home about 30 miles away and over the mountain. I remember sitting in school and seeing parents come in and pull their children out. My parents waited until we got home and then drove us to my aunt's place. Mom and dad were worried about looters and decided to stay at the house and planned to get out if it was going to get worse. I never realized how serious the situation was until I was older; my parents wouldn't tell us much so we wouldn't worry.

All day long, just out of sight, the ocean rises up and collapses, spilling foamy overlapping ovals onto the shore. Eighty miles farther out, ten thousand feet below the surface of the sea, the hand of a geological clock is somewhere in its slow sweep. All across the region, seismologists are looking at their watches, wondering how long we have, and what we will do, before geological time catches up to our own. :spooked:

A magnitude-7.8 earthquake hit close to the Solomon Islands early Friday, forecasters said.
The earthquake hit less than 30 kilometers (19 miles) off the island of Makira -- and 70 kilometers (43 miles) southwest of the island's city of Kirakira -- about 4:38 a.m. local time Friday (12:38 p.m. ET Thursday), the US Geological Survey said.
