updating earthquake fault map of California and Nevada

ALPINE FAULT 2 ( continued from above) The next earthquake on the Alpine Fault is expected to start fires and topple some buildings in Christchurch cause liquefaction, sever infrastructure and break windows. In Blenheim it will start fires, ruptures roads, cause seiches in water bodies, topple buildings and disrupt trains (the main trunk line runs through Blenheim). The West Coast will have services disrupted, rivers may change course, essential transport links will break, seiches will affect water bodies. The following West Coast towns among others are directly threatened by the fault. They are: Haast, Fox, Franz Josef, Whataroa, Springs Junction and St Arnaud. Thanks Rob!

Strong Quake Jolts Japan A magnitude 5.1 earthquake rattled homes in central and western Japan on Thursday at 1:18 p.m. local time, injuring a woman who was trapped beneath fallen lockers in a ski resort restaurant in the city of Shiozawa. The quake prompted officials to halt bullet train services between Tokyo with Niigata for more than two hours as a precautionary measure. Two major highways in the region were also temporarily shut down for inspection. Shaking was widely felt throughout Niigata Prefecture and in the neighboring prefectures of Nagano, Gunma and Yamagata as well as the city of Yokohama. Thursday's quake, which was followed by a magnitude 3.8 aftershock less than two hours later, was the second to hit the region within two days. Japan's Meteorological Agency reported that the quake was centered in the central area of Niigata Prefecture and occurred approximately 13 miles (20 km) beneath the earth's surface. The seismologists reported that the tremor was not related to Tuesday's quake.

Strong Earthquake Hits Alaska Coast Reuters Jan 10 2001 2:17PM ANCHORAGE, Alaska (Reuters) - A strong earthquake of 6.7 magnitude rattled coastal Alaska on Wednesday, authorities said, but no significant damage or tidal wave threat was reported. The quake struck at 7:03 a.m. local time (11:03 a.m. EST), centered 65 miles southwest of Kodiak Island, Alaska, or 330 miles southwest of Anchorage, and was felt across the region, according to the National Earthquake Information Center in Golden, Colorado. The West Coast & Alaska Tsunami Warning Center in Palmer, Alaska, measured the quake at 6.9, and pinpointed it at 20 miles below the sea floor. Residents reported homes shaking as far away as Anchorage as well as in smaller coastal cities like Perryville and King Salmon. "The ground trembled. I was still at home at the time and the blinds rattled and windows shook," said Paul Smith, assistant to the chief of police in Kodiak city, on the sparsely opulated island in the Gulf of Alaska. Alaska typically sees a half dozen quakes each year above magnitude 6. Wednesday's tremor was the strongest since a magnitude 7 in the same waters off Kodiak in December 1999, said geophysicist Paul Whitmore at the tsunami warning center. "We did not feel it here, but there were reports in Anchorage and down in Seward," Whitmore said. The tsunami center issues tidal wave warnings after coastal quakes measuring 7.1 or higher, Whitmore said. Wednesday's quake was expected to produce aftershocks, most likely within 30 miles of the epicenter.
