Earthquake

We felt our first earthquake last week.  Pete and I were both home.  It sounded like a big huge wind gust came by because the apartment creaked so loud as it shook for a few seconds.  It took me a second to figure out what was going on, but by the time I realized what it was and got a little concerned it was over.  A little eerie feeling, but cool to experience at the same time.  Thankful our apartment still stands. 

After looking online we found out it was a magnitude of 5.8!  We were also a bit surprised by how often there are miniature earthquakes in Alaska...take a look...

  1. I'm glad it didn't affect you any more than it did. It is definitely a different world up there in Alaska!
