I hope we are not building up to another big quake...but there have been a whole lot of smaller quakes up here in Alaska over the last couple of months...which isn't a good sign.  This also made me think of all the pressure on the plates that is being generated ...if this much pressure is being built up in Alaska to cause all these smaller quakes all the way into the interior and even northward then think of the pressure that is being put on the North American Plate over by Washington and Oregon...that has not had a large quake in hundreds of years...it may be us or maybe the Cascadia Subduction Zone that has the next great earthquake...which i think may trigger the San Andreas fault to rupture. With all that shaking going on its gonna make the Yellowstone caldera start shaking like a bowl of jelly ...which isn't good. I believe all things happen for a reason all these faults and volcano's that are overdue to go off just may all go off like a chain reaction one after another.
