Being that Alaska overlayed across the continental states would reach from AZ to Maine not everyone will feel an earthquake in Alaska. We get quakes almost every five minutes up here in the 2.5 category, of which some people back east feel they must change their underwear after one passes.

I have been in a 6.5 and no biggee, hardly anything even moved in the house, maybe its the extra thick walls full of insulation or its the ground but I know for a fact quakes happen all the time right under me as I live right on a fault line that runs just north of Wasilla to Willow. But they heave to be at least 5.0 before I notice them, might just be a geography, its mostly rock under me.

I chose my property well, at least I’m not on an alluvial silt plain, thats the bad place to live, ground turns into oatmeal.

Thanks for the info.

At 7.7 mag & 6 miles underground, it sounded a bit worrisome.

Glad you’re ok.
