Looks like a 7.0 just hit right by Anchorage. The damage looks decent so far. Any AK members here?

7.0 earthquake in Alaska

Holy crap, that is massive......I think...I don't recall the scale numbers entirely.
So this is 1964 all over again. That one didn't look to pleasant from the pictures I seen of it.
Read about this earlier this afternoon. Massive. I saw photos of roads torn up.
That is both tragic and impressive. That is the only way I know to describe that scene.

My nephew is in the Army in Anchorage, he said it was off the chain intense.

That is big. I rode out a 7.2 in cali and that was the only one that scared the crap out of me.
I have a friend that lives out in Alaska. We graduated high school together. I hope him and his family are doing well.
Actually, I hope everyone is doing okay out there. That is a big earthquake.

Ah, that makes sense. A big one indeed. I just saw some video of it hitting up there. Crazyyyyyyyy.
Wow! I only experienced some 3's and 4's when I live in CA... maybe a 5.0.
Im thankful I never experienced one stronger than that.

I remember when we moved there in 1993 and everyone said the big one coming. I remember being a very confused nine year old from Texas the first time we had an earthquake. I would not want to be near anything like the one today.
Anderson Cooper will be doing damage report video from the bottom of the Grand Canyon.
Is that a metaphor?
Might have been the same one I went through. Easter Sunday of 2010?
I was in El Centro so 45 miles from the epicenter.
Earthquakes went on for days...hundreds per day. First few days had numerous 3/4/5s.
Couldn't help but think of this gem.
^^^^****** and ******
This was back in 92. Believe it was called the Landers quake.
No kidding! Crazy, same exact magnitude.
They don't use the Richter scale anymore, since it had flaws on stronger quakes iorc.
It's now the moment magnitude scale.
An increase in magnitude is exponential and crazy.
Say we have a 5.0 and 6.0. The 6.0 has 33x the energy of the 5.0.
A 7 would be the energy of a 5 x 33 x 33
I've been in a 5.6... cant imagine 7+
