IIRC, the more shallow the earthquake occurs, the higher likelihood of a tsunami?

But 404 km is probably deeper than where the molemen live in middle earth.

Meh.



The 7.0 off Adak a few days ago, or the 6.0 and 5.9 in the last few hours off the Pacific coast of Canada are more interesting.

Which is the expected drift of the next big set.

 



There was a documentary that had a bunch of the geologic info on it and they said there was a big one 1000 or so years ago north of the one in 2011.  The next big break and the next load of stress is supposed to be south of the last one a ways.




Most likely it's nothing, but there's a lot more built up energy south of the previous quake than there was before.

I am no expert but I believe it relies more on underwater mudslides and shit like that.

250miles deep... would it have been higher on the scale closer to the surface?!

With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound
He pulls the spitting high-tension wires down

Helpless people on subway trains
Scream, bug-eyed, as he looks in on them

He picks up a bus and he throws it back down
As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town

A deep focus earthquake. Not well understood. At that depth, things should be plastic/less brittle.

Great, not what they need right now with the reactor problems they are having.
