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

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

Nothing here in Wasilla. Asked my wife, she didn’t feel anything either. Some people are more sensitive to tremors, I almost never feel them. Besides all the pictures are still hanging straight on the walls.

1964 Alaska earthquake

Lasting nearly five minutes, it was the most powerful recorded earthquake in U.S. and North American history, and the third most powerful ever measured by seismograph; it had a moment magnitude of 9.2 and registered 8.4 on the Richter scale.

I remember a fishing boat owner decided to ride out the Tsunamis in his boat. After the second or third wave arrived his friend asked him on the CB radio, was he alright and where is he? He answered affirmative and looked over the side and said "right now I'm about 35 feet over top the Kodiak High School roof.
