Are you OK?

Did you feel it?

Everything OK at your place?

I heard about this on Fox News. As someone who went through the Northridge quake back in 1994 earthquakes scare the holy hell outta me. I wasn’t aware that Alaska suffers from as many earthquakes as us Californians. I hope that everyone is safe over there

[P.O.E.]

Prayers up. Not seeing anything on cable news yet...

RING OF FIRE:

[Sarah Barracuda]

She probably felt it since she is not that far from Anchorage(I believe Wasilla is a half an hour drive from Anchorage) I have heard no reports of injuries. WOW so California and Alaska do have something in common, I was not aware of the many earthquakes Alaska has daily, last night we had one here in Marina Del Rey(a small one) but I did not feel it. Looks like a new fault line

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Tremors are a daily occurrence in Alaska. :)

160 miles from Anchorage, it seems to have not affected too many people.

My good friend is on a cruise ship somewhere in Alaska. Wonder if they can feel an earthquake on one of those monsters?

last night we had one here in Marina Del Rey

I felt that one, it was only a 3.2 though; it seemed short too - a couple seconds and it was over.
