mag 6 earthquake hits remote Rat Islands, Alaska

Edited on Mon Jun-26-06 10:16 PM by bushmeat

The earthquake occurred at 10:39 PM EST

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsww/Quakes/usplae.php

There have been hundreds of earthquakes here in the past 3 weeks

This was also the location of the famous magnitude 8.7 Alaskan earthquake of February 4, 1965. The last eruption of the Kiska volcano at that location was on March 18, 1964.

/edit they just revised it from a 7.1 to a 6.0
