My brother in law in Anchorage sent my husband some photos.  Their grandfather clock fell over, china pieces fell out of their china cabinet, there was glass on the kitchen floor (not sure if from the window or glassware), baskets and other stuff all over.  They of course had after shocks as well.

My brother in law broke his arm about a week ago slipping on ice and had surgery on Monday, putting in plates or screws or something.  So they have had a rough week.

My sister in law will be quite upset over some of the broken items, I am sure.

Everyone needs to be careful living in the area because of after shocks and they can be near 6.0.  I lived through the 7.1 in San Francisco and it is extremely scary.  There are roadways in AK that are damaged so that is very dangerous.  The after shocks will last a couple days and lessen.  The hardest part is no electricity, no hot water.  You have to travel outside the area to eat.  Our thoughts are with you, Anchorage.  Please stay safe.

Thoughts and prayers for victims of the earthquake and perhaps tsunami.

wasn't the quake back in 64 (maybe 65) a 7.0 or was that one larger an 8.0.  

I remember that quake and all the devastation. it happened the weekend that my high school won the basketball state tournament. rocky blier was on that team so that dampened the celebration for the team.

I live in Anchorage about 5 miles from epicenter. I’m fine but son’s business had shattered plate glass windows.

@traveler  You've been in my thoughts all day.  I'm sorry about the damage to your son's business, but relieved to know that your all okay.
