I have just received an email from my dear friend, Bill Laughing-Bear up there in Alaska: The biggest quake of the year an 8.2 and two major aftershocks has left Bill's cabin shaking! They bring the total major quakes to 14 in July, and the year total to 91

I have just received an email from our dear friend, Bill Laughing-Bear up there in Alaska telling me his cabin is shaking! Tree major quakes, (mag 6 or higher) have just rocked Alaska!

The first of the three, a shallow, magnitude 8.2 is the biggest recorded earthquake of 2021, the other two were shallow 6.1 and 6.2 aftershocks. 

We need to watch this space in the coming hours and days. Today's major quakes, (mag 6 or higher) bring the total to 14 in July, so far, and the year total to 91, which is so far at least an average year.

A yellow tsunami warning has been issued. Stay safe Bill, up there in your Alaskan Adventure.
