A 7.0 earthquake jolted Anchorage and the rest of Southcentral Alaska on Friday morning, cracking and collapsing roads and highways, damaging buildings, knocking out power and sending people scrambling outside and under furniture. The shaking left many homes a mess and aftershocks continued through the evening.

Wow, they had a 9.2 in 1964! That is insane!

Thoughts and prayers for the two reindeer, a moose and three bears affected by this.

Save your thoughts and prayers! We want anti-earthquake legislation NOW!

Good thing there aren't any buildings taller than two stories in Alaska...
