What a ride, that was the largest earthquake we felt in 20 years of living in Alaska. My understanding is that there are bridges and ramps that are down in Anchorage. They’re saying 7.2 about 30 miles south of me which puts at 7 miles north of Anchorage. All my reloading equipment is on the floor in my garage, cabinets were open and paint is all over the place and of course pictures came off the walls in the house. 30 minutes later and we’re still experiencing aftershocks.
wow, crazy, hope ppl will be ok!! scary
I remember visiting Anchorage and seeing incredible photos of the 1964 quake, large gaps in street pavement with whole blocks of houses collapsed..... hope nothing so bad this time??!! It is a dangerous zone when the earth moves....
Daughter, Son-in-law and 2 Grandkids live in Eagle River, outside Anchorage. They’re okay, but most of the inside of their house was destroyed.
Also, power is out, so heat will come from the fire place, if the chimney is still intact.
Prayers up for them and all in the affected area!
Sure it wasn’t a bear in the garage?
A 7 is big
But you still have internet and FR!
My wife spoke to our kids up there a few minutes ago and everybody is ok. The Glen highway is severely damaged.
Prayers for everyone affected.

wow!
Hope you don’t have any structural damage or anything. Might be good to take a look around and make sure there are no gas leaks or damaged pipes.
I am glad you and yours are safe.
Aftershocks continue since this morning. 3 good size in the last hour. 1 “jolt” and 2 “shakers”, smaller versions of the one this morning.
