Nearly 200 aftershocks (M2.5-5.8) within 30 hours of yesterday’s M7 earthquake in Yukon. Had this occurred in a densely populated region, all/most of these aftershocks would have been felt, with some large enough to cause additional damage. A lot will be learned from this earthquake sequence.
⚒️🧪
A USGS map of aftershocks (first ~30 hours) show nearly 200 located, some as large as M5.8 Coloured dots indicate the age of the events. These extend in a NW-SE direction along a 50-km-long fault.
