[ConfusedSwede]

Not good.

[jessduntno]

Nothing to fear...

[yield 2 the right]

I hope that it is just a good shaker no major damages or injuries... prayers upwards...

[rwfromkansas]

5.7.....that’s nothing for Alaska.

Only an 8 would be news.

[rwfromkansas]

Being 5.7 iniitially, it will likely be downgraded to 5.2 or so at the end of the day anyway, even less serious.

[GQuagmire]

Anywhere near the volcano?(name escapes me)

[null and void]

Yeah. It would take that here, too.

Posted as soon as Fox reported. The made it sound like at least a 7.

[DallasDeb]

Any tsunami warnings?

[wk4bush2004]

Doesn’t look like it’s far from Wasilla.

Where is Gov. Palin? I hope she’s ok (along with everyone else)....

[rwfromkansas]

could be some damage still obviously, but probably no deaths, at least let’s hope.

[null and void]

No idea.

[Corin Stormhands]

Earthquake in Alaska? Mark Sanford Missing? Obama’s poll numbers failing?

Coincidence?

Hmmm....

[SIDENET]

Any tsunami warnings?

Yep. I just issued one.

(Of course, I'm no tsunami expert.)

[null and void]

No. Too small, too far inland.

[SIDENET]

Don’t forget the Elvis sightings.
