8.2 quake near Alaska, tsunami warning issued
Not likely to trouble Australia, but that's a pretty big quake and alerts have been issued.

Nothing out of this one, but it's woken the americans up to the cascadia fault again. And there's been a cluster of tremors near Coffs Harbour that people think might prelude a bigger one.

4.2 seems the biggest so far, but we're holding our breath at work, I can tell you!
