A 7.0 magnitude earthquake shook Anchorage, Alaska on Friday morning at 8.29am

The center of the earthquake took place about seven miles from Anchorage, the largest city in the state

A tsunami warning was initially placed for coastal areas including Alaska's Cook Inlet and southern Kenai Peninsula but it was later cancelled

At least eight aftershocks rippled through the city, the largest one measuring 5.8 magnitude in Anchorage

Alaska averages 40,000 earthquakes per year, which is more large quakes than the other 49 states combined

White House said President Trump, who is in Argentina for the G20 Summit, has been briefed on the quake

Alaska Governor Bill Walker has declared a state of emergency in Anchorage

No immediate deaths or injuries have been reported in the disaster

"A 7.0 magnitude earthquake shook Anchorage, Alaska on Friday morning at 8.29am
The center of the earthquake took place about seven miles from Anchorage, the largest city in the state"

A wood stove, properly supplied and maintained can provide a sense of security and normalcy during troubled times,especially in cold climes.
"Store what you eat,.. and eat what you store" (keep food in rotation, based on expiration dates).
If your family won't eat 'brussel sprouts', don't store them !!
If there is a chance you may have to 'bug out', have a ready supply of dehydrated foods,
since they are nutritionally similar to canned goods, but take up less space, and are lighter in transport,
but require a clean water source.
Without potable water (water filtration), their benefit is moot; clean snow can be melted, or, used for temporary refridgeration
Always include a first aid kit, and a supply of needed medications, spare glasses, etc., ..since accidents happen !

H/T to Tadslos !

If the SHTF, your family WILL eat Brussels Sprouts. May even fight over them.

Alaska is gigantic. I have a fantasy of walking every square inch of Alaska while eating fish every day but that would take me centuries.

Yup, wilderness as far as the eye can see, and a bit further.

1964 was arguably the most intense earthquake to ever hit “inhabited” land, at least in modern history,.

My bad. LP was 1989

Whittier was a 5.9. Alaska quakes are particularly scary because they tend to occur in subduction zones plus thete is almost always lots of luquefaction
