Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska That one rattled my teeth

1:30 am

That was a good one!

6.4?

Can't believe it was only a 6.4, haven't had such a long ride since the Loma Prieta quake.

It says 7.1 across from Anchor point......woke me up here in Delta

We lost a picture off the wall and some knick knacks off a shelf. And of course got a screaming infant out of the deal. Roller coaster for sure

Shelf of reloading components collapsed, wide awake now!

7.1 is pretty major. Did you guys sleep through the after shock? 4.3? Hope all is well.

Felt that one real well here in Kenai. 7.1 is the official at this point. Looks like the eppi was under Pedro Bay.

Shook us awake. I'll bet it shook here close to 1 min.

Damaged K-beach road about 1 mile from Sterling HWY. 1+ lane closed.

7.1 initially, now I read a 6.79.

Not getting comm from several friends in Seward....power or cell tower problems?

The depth (76 miles) and location of this earthquake indicate that it occurred inside the subducting Pacific Plate rather than at the place interface. The rupture was caused by extension of the plate as it is pulled into the mantle by its own weight.

This is a common type of event for this region and depth. However, at magnitude 7.1 it is the largest intermediate-depth earthquake recorded beneath Cook Inlet since the regional seismic network was established in late 1960s. Earthquakes of similar sizes occurred in the Lower Cook Inlet in 1912 and 1933, but we do not have precise magnitudes and locations for that time period.

We recorded about 30 aftershocks in the first 2.5 hours after the earthquake. The largest was a magnitude 4.3 at 12:37 UTC (3:37 am local). Aftershocks are continuing at a steady rate and can be expected to go on for several months, although the rate of aftershocks should decrease considerably after a couple of weeks.

10K homes without power in SC.

It woke Etta and I out of a sound sleep here in Wasilla. No real damage other than one of her angel figurines lost a few body parts when it fell to the floor.

The wife rousted me outa bed, or would have slept through it! It sure had some hang time. Hope all is well on the KP Ironbeder, et al(that means and others )

For non-Alaskans, what is "SC"?

South Central

Thanks, Jeff. Seems OK, very minor damage seen at the hacienda so far.

Some pics and video online (radiokenai.net and FB) of grocery store items on floor.

Good to hear!
