Whats going on is Alaska and Japan are both sitting on the Pacific ring of fire, which is a network of tectonic plates bumpin' and grindin'.

If something affects Japan, odds are pretty good sympathy quakes will appear elsewhere along the pacific rim. I wouldn't be shocked if some rather large earthquakes started hitting Cali or increased volcanic activity in Hawaii or Washington.
