Fracking.

[Mr Apple]

Glad you’re ok. After shocks? My prayers for you and everyone up there. Nothing on any news channels yet. Keep us updated.

200 miles north of it and it shook the house for at least 30 seconds, the strongest one i have ever felt in 23 years here near Wasilla, no damage, no loss of power. House is built for stuff like this.

This one would have destroyed a lower 48 home, or damaged it.

I had just got home from the late session of Bingo in Wasilla, wasn’t in the door but two minutes when it hit, grabbed the big tv to make sure it didn’t fall over, going to bed now, but keeping flashlight near.

Anything over a 5.0 is absolutely scary to me. Stay safe!

7.1-magnitude earthquake hits Alaska

(CNN)A 7.1-magnitude earthquake struck Alaska early Sunday morning, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

The quake’s epicenter hit near Cook Inlet, 162 miles southwest of Anchorage. It was about 50 miles deep.

Joshua Veldstra, a professional photographer who lives in Homer, said the earthquake lasted about 30 seconds.

“When it hit, it was just soft at first, and it just kept getting bigger,” Veldstra said. “It was one of those moments where you didn’t’ know if it was going to get worse or if it was going to calm down.”

Anchorage police tweeted that there were no reports of major damage or injury following the earthquake.

The USGS reported that there was a low likelihood of casualties and damage, but the agency’s “Did You Feel It?” map shows strong shaking could be felt near Anchorage.

The National Weather Service said there was no tsunami threat from the quake because of how deep it struck.

Two smaller earthquakes — a 4.0 and a 3.2 — struck within 30 minutes after the first one.

"When it hit, it was just soft at first, and it just kept getting bigger," Veldstra said. "It was one of those moments where you didn't know if it was going to get worse or if it was going to calm down."

Like that here in Anchorage. It just kept going and going and going. Some things fell off shelves, a clock fell off the wall, and a few drawers opened, but no damage inside that I could find. Will check outside after the sun comes up later, but expect none.
