Hi Chris,

I don't know if anyone else has made any note of prior activity in Alaska with 3's, et cetera before the largest quakes of late, but they almost seem to be quite predictable, just by observation alone.

Adak had a number of quakes in the past few weeks and here we go again with another slammer. Its interesting.....Petra
