4.5 and 4.2 Richters Earthquakes Have Now Struck Anchorage, Alaska!!! Although 4.2 Was Downgraded To a 3.9 Later!!! All This Shaking Could Be The Shaking We're Watching For To Follow All The Major Snowfall Amounts, Too!!!

Got this update delivered directly to my E-Mail again by a great reader!!!!! Now the first of the Anchorage Region Earthquakes was originally a 4.2 but looks like it might have been downgraded although right now not sure where it is at because it might have been upgraded again!!! So, with that in mind here's the other one, at a 4.5 and no changes have been made to the magnitude, at least none that I'm aware of:

With the full moon now several days past, I'd like to remind all my readers that in the past I have correlated what I call "Severe Winter Conditions" with Major Earthquakes including Paso Robles, Eureka 2010, Northridge and 1964 Great Alaska, and there was a Craig, Alaska one in there somewhere, too. . . and just got upwards of 10 more inches of snow here at my Wisconsin location!!! Although they did say our total is 21 inches, they also said the "Normal" for this time of year or perhaps this day, was 31 inches. Can't hang around wondering if the biggest amounts that bring that average up to 31 weren't also years where Major Earthquakes could have became a reality. . . but just saying they will probably become a reality around here in the very near future!!! And all the shaking up around Anchorage could be a sign!!! We'll know that for sure if and when they get a much bigger one, there!!! I suppose they should be watching for about a ??? on the Richter Scale!!!
