Earthquake Day +19
18 Days After the Earthquake, 5,000 Aftershocks and Counting
18 days after a magnitude 7.0 earthquake shook Southcentral Alaska, nearly 5,000 aftershocks have been registered by seismic sensors, and on Sunday, the Alaska Earthquake Center reported surpassing 50,000 recorded earthquakes in Alaska in a year for the first time ever.
... Research Technician Dara Merz wrote in a Facebook post that the main drivers of seismic activity in 2018 were the Jan. 23 magnitude 7.9 Kodiak earthquake, the Aug. 12 6.4 Kaktovik earthquake, and the Nov. 30 earthquake.
... Since Nov. 30, Ruppert says the same region is experiencing an aftershock every couple minutes, all day, every day.

Are the local radio stations banned from playing Jerry Lewis', "hole Lot of Shaking Going On?"
Lord, please forgive me for that.
Banned? Nah, just won't play it. Too soon to be funny, I guess. I've used it as the title of blog posts after previous, less-damaging quakes.
Praise God for every day they stay small.
That is a stunning (and uncomfortable) number.
That is a BUNCH! The sad part is you'll get 'comfortable' with them, which might not be good...
Linda, absolutely.
TB, you are absolutely correct.
NFO, you may be right, but we're not there yet. I pray we don't get there anytime soon.
