7.0 Earthquake in Anchorage Alaska

[CarlG]

Thanks for your concerns. We did have a 7.0 earthquake followed up 5 minutes later with a 5+ aftershock. Over the past 24 hours there have been hundreds more after shocks, a lot of them being in the 5+ range. While there was lots of shake rattle and roll, there was no loss of life or injuries. Just lots of clean up and road repair. Schools were closed on Friday and won’t reopen till next Wednesday. Suspended ceilings and plate glass in office buildings did not fair too well. The Model A guys I have talked to have no damage to their cars. It will be a good while before we get back to “normal” but we will make it.

Having experienced the Northridge earthquake (6.7 magnitude) here in SoCal several years ago, I agree with your statement. It does take a while for things to get back to normal, but they will. I wish you, all the Model A people up there and all the people of Alaska affected by this as speedy a recovery as possible.
