Default Re: Alaska earthquake

Hi Barners,

Here in Fairbanks, being 350 miles North of Anchorage, we only had a little shaking, which isn't out of the ordinary most anytime.

Here is a link to the Alaska Earthquake Center here in Fairbanks:

https://earthquake.alaska.edu/earthquakes

From AEC yesterday:
The strongest aftershock, a magnitude 5.7 just three miles north of Anchorage, struck six minutes after the mainshock. As of this update, there have been over 1,400 recorded aftershocks including 17 with magnitudes greater than 4. We have not identified a foreshock for this earthquake.

All available DOT&PF bridge inspectors are in Southcentral Alaska and are conducting technical bridge inspections on 243 bridges in the earthquake-affected area. Inspectors have completed and cleared 183 bridges.

The Alaska Railroad is damaged between Fairbanks and Anchorage, but is expected to be running in the next day or so. This causes our US Mail to be slower and l notice that the store shelves are empty of Tortillias.

I will post more updates as l find them.
