Wow, 250 + quakes in 24 hours in Alaska, crazy morning—more than a dozen were 4.5 M or more... I felt a jolt around 9:30 am yesterday morning in West County, and I thought it was a passing truck, but there were no cars on the road. Then, yesterday afternoon I heard the news from a friend who has family in Palmer, Alaska. Miraculously, it seem there’s been only structural damage. But all the roads are completely destroyed. Like a toddler’s temper tantrum aimed at a jigsaw puzzle.
But we also felt the big 1964 Alaska quake too. And the aftershocks were fierce in west Marin. I was perched on the couch back and my head was slammed against the wall behind it. And the sound was like a gunshot. My first quake left quite a lasting impression on the back of my head.
