Polar bears, women, and children will bear the brunt of this. Minorities too.

5.d under a city will cause a few broken dishes and cracked sidewalks. I wouldn’t want to be in an igloo for one though.

Do you have a link to a site that keeps stats on earthquakes? Seems to me there have been an inordinate number recently?

[SevenofNine]

Kathy did you feel it

[eldoradude]

Nothing in the Alaska Daily News so hopefully no damage done.

[mamelukesabre]

THat’s kind of a small quake, isn’t it?

[al baby]

My mistress felt it. Kathy hope your safe

[AlaskaErik]

I felt it but it wasn’t much. And I’m closer to it than Anchorage is.

This must somehow be caused by Global Warming...

For anyone else besides me who might like a refresher on earthquake measurement :)

Measuring the Size of an Earthquake

[eldoradude]

Been thgrough a few earthquakes, depends on where you are on how much effect you feel. I remember a 5.5 that woke me up right away but took the wife at the time a little longer. She asked me why the cattle were running through the house. Swore later that she had heard a stampede through the hallway into the living room.

I used to live in LA and SF,...5.2, that’s a wussy quake. Nothing to see here, move along.

About 80 miles away. I felt it. Shook my wobbly computer desk for a little bit. My wife upstairs and my son walking outside didn’t feel it, but my wife is notorious for never feeling earthquakes unless they’re really big.

[eldoradude]

Glad to hear it. Not a big one but you never know...one place will be fine and down the road everything off the shelves.

[RightWhale]

Noticed nothing here. A big red fox came by earlier, which upset the dog, but that’s about it for excitement today.

[vpintheak]

Didn’t feel it in Fairbanks.

[eldoradude]

STOP, building on Beaches !

[RoadKingSE]

That was no earthquake. It was Chuck Norris taking a constitutional.

[SevenofNine]

Damn what are you Al Baby regular Rick Nelson who has every girlfriend in every port LOL!

[ChinaThreat]

I thought red fox was dead. Just kidding. What part of AK? I’ve been from Coldfoot down to Homer? My favorite state with exception of my sweet Carolina.

Fairbanks. The red fox lives around here, has been here for years, but is seen only now and then. He’s very shy about people but plays with dogs and eats their food when he can. There is a population of these red foxes, most of them small or scraggly. This one is tall.

[redpoll]

It’s not really a major quake up in these parts. When I lived in Palmer we had a 5.0 once every year or so. Just a mere rattling of the dishes.
