@jfmezei it's an entire series of #eartquakes in the #Yukon today. Going on 40 earthquakes above 2.5, two of which stronger than 5.

https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/?extent=-28.76766,-130.95703&extent=74.16409,-58.71094&map=false
(Look for ~105 km ~NNW of Yakutat, #Alaska - that location is actually in #Canada )

About 276 km West of #Whitehorse in the #Kluane National Park. Residents of #HainesJunction have been woken up several times.

Also I'm surprised the USGS hasn't been doged.
