Hi 2 Cents,

According to the USGS maps we have the following:

7.9 2002/11/03 22:12:41 63.743 -147.687 10.0 57 km ( 35 mi) E of McKinley Park, AK

The prior earthquake near there occurred as follows:

6.7 2002/10/23 63.576 148.088 Depth 14KM

Today's 7.9 was preceeded earlier in the day by twin 4.0 quakes occurring at exactly the same time, but only separated by a narrow margin.

This appears to be on the very edge of the FFA zone from the Indonesia quake.

If you are interested in viewing seismograms, today is the day to have a look. This quake ran rail to rail.

Petra & Don
