Sending soothing calm thoughts to the plate tectonics and the Denali Fault. (not that I'm blaming Denali) (<----- my poor attempt at humor)

Stay safe, Blue!

And that is one nasty crack you go a photo of. That isn't from the earthquake, is it? It looks so neat.

Not my photo. It was posted at the Alaska Dispatch website with a bunch of other photos from residents. I should have attributed. This was taken two or three miles from where I live.

I just tried to find who took that photo, but it's not with the others. Maybe I saw it on Facebook. Anyway, it's not mine, so I can't take credit.

I was an undergrad at UCLA when the 1971 Sylmar (San Fernando) quake hit. It was 6.6
My roommate and I thought it was the end of the world. The shaking seemed to go on and on and on.
Lots of aftershocks, too.

I had already been living in SoCal for 6 years--so I was familiar with the little stuff--but that one scared
the heck out of me. Have to admit that I do not miss living in earthquake country.

Sending calming thoughts toward Alaska!
