1. And sadly....Blue_In_AK was never heard from again.

[Blue_In_AK]

6. Nope, still here.

I can't find a measurement yet, but it shook pretty good, enough to freak the dog out anyway.

[shenmue]

12. Oh noes!

This calls for biscuits.

[malaise]

21. Stay safe sis

Bush fire and earthquake - damn!!!!

[Le Taz Hot]

16. That made me LOL!

[Liberal_in_LA]

28. lol

[haikugal]

2. Stay safe.... n/t

[KamaAina]

3. Where in AK are you blue?

i.e. could the quake have been offshore and strong enough to cause a tsunami?

[elleng]

8. Anchorage (if she's home.)

[Blue_In_AK]

11. Yes, I'm in Anchorage.

They're saying it was centered west of Willow, so an inland earthquake. There should be no danger of a tsunami.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. Where?

[Blue_In_AK]

9. West of Willow, they're saying.

We felt it pretty good here. Nothing broke.

5. 5.6 60 miles west of Willow, Alaska

[Blue_In_AK]

7. Thanks.

I couldn't find that anywhere.

13. You might have been too fast...I found it on USGS.gov

a minute or so after you posted... I think their current earthquakes is computer generated but it probably took a half minute or so for their system to do the math and create the posts

10. Nothing to worry about...

It's just canned goods hitting a refrigerator in Wassila....

[Dont call me Shirley]

14. Stay safe Blue!

29. pretty fair sized

[Blue_In_AK]

17. Reports are coming in

that it was felt from Kenai to Fairbanks and over to Valdez, so it must have been pretty deep.

[RobertEarl]

18. CME, too

The earth's magnetism is magnetic, and the sun... well it is even more so.

[Blue_In_AK]

20. I knew about the CME

which was stronger a couple days ago. Of course, we can't see auroras up here this time of year.

[Blue_In_AK]

19. Upgraded to 6.2

[Warpy]

22. Good thing it was so deep

or you'd have to replace a lot of your stuff.

[Blue_In_AK]

25. We had one a few months ago,

that knocked some picture frames off the wall and shattered the glass. This one wasn't quite so jarring, at least not here.

[Warpy]

27. Poor Willow can't seem to catch a break lately

First part of it burns down and now Mother Earth is shaking things up.

[Blue_In_AK]

30. That's true.

They lost 55 homes up there in the fire. At least no one has been hurt yet.

[Cali_Democrat]

23. That's a pretty good size quake

glad you're ok.

[nadinbrzezinski]

24. Some firefighers on the line were NOT happy

we got a fire, and now a quake?

I will save the jokes that went though my head.

26. Here is a good interactive earthquake link.

One might have to move around on the map and then one clicks on the quake dot.

The link is massive as on the Alaska quake of which you post.
