There you go. That is large enough to cause concern. I am located about 15 miles northeast of Anchorage, as the crow flies, or about 65 miles from the epicenter. Which would explain why it did not feel as big to me.

The whole building shock like a birch tree in the wind! Living on the 12th floor doesn't seem like such a good idea anymore ...

Hm. Just noticed my camel in the window fell down.

I only felt a slight shaking that lasted somewhere between 5 and 7 seconds near Settler's Bay. Just enough to notice. The lamps, monitor, and TV, shook a bit, but nothing fell. Based upon what I felt it would have been somewhere between a 4.0 or 4.5 quake, but that is because I am 65 miles from the epicenter.

When quakes get to 5.0 and above, they cease to be fun and become a concern. I hope there was no damage or injuries from this quake.
