Here are some screenshots of some of the earthquakes that have happened recently:  One thing I noticed about these is they are lower than 4 magnitude or close to it, and most are closer to the volcanoes. I didn't really understand or care for earthquakes until I moved to Alaska 6 years ago. There have been a few 5.8 and higher magnitude earthquakes that almost caused Tsunamis for us. I definitely became more aware and prepared for them as time went on.

We had to pray that this would not cause a saltwater intrusion, or we would have difficult...
