6.0 magnitude earthquake shakes southeastern Alaska

31 January, 2013

January 31, 2013 – ANCHORAGE, Alaska —A strong shallow earthquake has shaken southeastern Alaska, but officials say there is no danger of a tsunami and there are no immediate reports of any damage. The U.S. Geological Survey said the 6.0 magnitude quake struck about 1 a.m. Thursday and was centered in the ocean, about 188 miles south of the capital, Juneau. The Tsunami Warning Center says there is no danger of a tsunami. The earthquake was widely felt across the region, according to the Alaska Earthquake Information Center. However, it had no immediate reports of any damage. The center believes the quake is an aftershock to a magnitude 7.5 temblor that struck the region on January 4. That earthquake sparked a tsunami warning for hundreds of miles along the Alaska and Canadian coasts, but it was cancelled after a few hours when no damaging waves were generated. The 6.0 quake in Alaska is the fourth strong earthquake to rumble across the planet in 24 hours, following events in the Santa Cruz Islands and Chile. Seismic tension across the planet remains relatively elevated.

31 January, 2013

January 31, 2013 – INDONESIA - Mount Lokon in Tomohon, North Sulawesi, erupted twice throughout Thursday (31/01/2013) afternoon. Head Volcano Observation Post Lokon and Mahawu, Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation (PVMBG) Bandung Geological Agency, Ruskanda Farid Bina, said the first explosion occurred at 6:54 pm and was followed by a second explosion at 10:44 pm, and that was followed by a boom that sounded up to the settlements located around the crater. “We could not observe the height of the eruption of dust because of the condition of the fog around the crater. At first eruption eruption dust altitude of about eight hundred yards,” said Farid. He said the series of eruptions occurred after an increase in seismicity that occurred on Wednesday (30/1) at 22:54 pm. “Until now the status is still at alert level three,” he said.
