Saw that just now online. Sorry if it's a repost.

I remember big PILES of the stuff on the rack, just waiting to be dried.

(25,816 posts)Not funny stuff--my son-in-law's parents live in Palmer, Alaska, about 30
north of the epicenter. When I heard about the quake (here on DU of course),
I called them. No answer. So I texted and was told that they were OK but the
house was a mess. She said everything in house was on the floor, no power and
no road to Anchorage. Power is back up now and a road in and out is open.
Lots of clean up to do.
