Here's More Info on That 6.4 Far North Alaska, And NOW The 6.6 Alaska Islands Earthquake From Late on Thursday, Too!!! And More About That Italy Bridge Collapse/Small Earthquake In That Region!?

Since this illustration was all drawn up, there was yet another Major Earthquake affecting that Alaska Region out in the Islands of Alaska and all that info follows. This illustration refers to the 6.4 Far North Alaska earlier in the week:

NOW Here's that latest one!!! By the way would also be on the above drawing to the south and off to the west a ways, like just above the "A" in Alaska there. At a 6.6 On The Richters Scale this next one struck the Alaska Islands Region Late Wednesday!!! Final number of Felt Reports on this one is at 4. . .Including Anchorage at 1200 Miles away!!!

6.6 - 50km S of Tanaga Volcano, Alaska

Unalaska, AK 99685 United States of America....1.....813 km
Anchorage, AK 99502 United States of America...1....2044 km

And of course the "Big" list of all the shaking at this epicenter. . .although doesn't really look to be all that big of a list, huh:

4.2 84km SSE of Tanaga Volcano, Alaska 2018-08-16 08:27
2.3 81km SSE of Tanaga Volcano, Alaska 2018-08-15 17:38
4.4 59km S of Tanaga Volcano, Alaska 2018-08-15 17:16
6.6 50km S of Tanaga Volcano, Alaska 2018-08-15 16:56

However I have to give a heads-up with this next list. . . because great it appeared, until I noticed Parkfield and occurred to me it's a seven day list! Still looks intimidating just the same, doesn't it!

2.9 7km NE of Aguanga, CA 2018-08-15 08:34
2.9 7km NE of Aguanga, CA 2018-08-14 20:53
4.4 7km NE of Aguanga, CA 2018-08-14 20:24
3.5 1km W of Parkfield, CA 2018-08-14 16:52
2.8 7km NE of Aguanga, CA 2018-08-11 18:46
2.5 8km S of Carpinteria, CA 2018-08-10 22:53
2.8 3km NW of Fontana, CA 2018-08-10 16:41:27
2.6 13km NE of Trabuco Canyon 2018-08-10 14:39

Also not necessary to actually have a big earthquake reading at the location where bridge collapsed in Northern Italy Region. Here's now two at another location to the south of that bridge collapse. . . possibly indicating there's been some random shaking and still could have had something to do with it, or the ground can always do some moving with NO reading on any seismographs, you know! Here's now two there:

4.5 4km NNE of Guardialfiera, Italy 2018-08-16 15:22
5.3 5km SE of Palata, Italy 2018-08-16 13:19:05

This just in late on Thursday near Japan where we are watching:

6.4 - 252km SE of Iwo Jima, Japan
2018-08-16 18:22:52 UTC 23.441°N 143.341°E 11.5 km depth

Nearby Places:
261.5 Miles SSE of Ogasawara, Japan
587.5 Miles NNW of Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands
601.4 Miles NNW of San Jose Village, Northern Mariana Islands
688.7 Miles North of Yigo Village, Guam
689.5 Miles North of Dededo Village, Guam

Found an earthquake that just about matches the moment the bridge collapsed around Genoa, Italy!!! Here it is take a look@ http://cnt.rm.ingv.it/event/20338911 and here's that updated story at Wikipedia@ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponte_Morandi It was when I looked over the list of nearby places translated into Italian that I began to figure things out!!! 81 Kilometers to Viterbo might equal just 250 to Genoa. . . and plenty to get at least one felt report as we routinely see on all the rest of them I print about every day in my blog, you know!!! So we just about know at least this earthquake and there were others such as this one, that there definately WAS some shaking going on around Italy!!!

After all was said and done, I happened to see in my E-Mail one of those USGS Reports of the type I occasionally publish that came to me via E-Mail, you might know!!! So, just to update you right now the formal name of the region where that big 6.6 struck was more like Andreanof Islands, or Aleutian Islands, and give me over this weekend to have all the info on which is which and where exactly this epicenter fell. . . out there in the middle of all those island names that I sometimes seem to know well, but not right at the moment! I'll be checking on that and have a good weekend, everybody!!!
