ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — A 6.6 magnitude earthquake has rocked buildings in Anchorage and caused lamp posts and trees to sway, prompting people to run out of offices and seek shelter under office desks.

The U.S. Geological Survey says the earthquake Friday morning was centered about 7 miles (12 kilometers) north of Alaska's largest city.

It’s been upgraded to 6.7 due to global warming.

I know AK has tremors almost daily. I’m wondering if a mountain top is going to blow soon and this is a prelude?

Frequently check Drudge’s quake sheets - monitoring that Rattlesnake slide in Yakima, Washington. Still sliding, but very slowly and it’s not ‘huge’.

wasn’t it anchorage that had the massive quake many years ago that sent a huge tsunami out?

someplace else said 7.

For those not familiar with it, this scale is logarithmic.

A 6.8 is 10 times as much as 6.7

so, a 7 is 1000 times stronger than a 6.7

But, temporary global cooling downgraded its severity to 4.8 once it came ashore....

It is logarithmic, but the whole numbers are the magnitude increase.

Because of the logarithmic basis of the scale, each whole number increase in magnitude represents a tenfold increase in measured amplitude; in terms of energy, each whole number increase corresponds to an increase of about 31.6 times the amount of energy released, and each increase of 0.2 corresponds to approximately a doubling of the energy released.
