akdave Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Well in my neck of Alaska we have very little snow right now - but about 1:30 am local time we had a nice shaker that went on for some time. It was a magnitude 7.1 and we have no power. That's the biggest one I've experienced and that was quite humbling! Our Facebook feed is hopping, apparently we're all awake in our community! Some minor damage, but no injuries reported at this point. Whew! Back to bed! http://www.google.org/publicalerts/alert?aid=c4307fecfa369d55&hl=en&gl=US&source=web The rf7ii's are fine as well, I went downstairs to be sure. ;-) priorities...

Ceptorman Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I believe I would rather deal with 3' of snow than an earthquake. I'm glad it didn't produce too much damage, hope all is well. Are you prepared for an electrical outage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akdave Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) Yeah we're good and power came back up about 10 min ago. Kudos to our local utility for such a quick response! We were only down almost an hour. It rattles the nerves a little. We only had some drawers open in the kitchen. Some friends closer to the epicenter, lost a tv and pictures off the wall, etc. Edited January 24, 2016 by akdave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akdave Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 A friends house not mine. He just bought the tv for Christmas. Could be so much worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebes Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 No question about it, quakes are major scary. Glad all is well except for minor damage. I still remember seeing the damage reports from the major Alaskan quake. 1959? or thereabouts? Can't remember. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akdave Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 Yeah 1964. Good Friday. Magnitude 9.2 and it lasted four minutes. I cannot even imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
