I feel like a bowl of Jell-O, and not in a good way

Damn it. The older I get the less well I tolerate earthquakes. We just had a relatively mild-to-moderate one that lasted for several seconds and I kind of want to lie on the floor for a while. Like an hour or so.

(Preliminary data is 5.25 about fiftyish miles NW of Anchorage)

Yeek. I think I might want to lie down for a day if my ground started moving. It's the GROUND. I hope things haven't been damaged? I was very impressed in Anchorage by the street that is like 15 feet below the next street because of the earthquake. Meep.

(The sky can do what it wants. I'm used to it being unpredictable and deadly. But the GROUND. Dude.)

No damage reported - I doubt there would have been any here, but closer to the epicenter like in Willow I wouldn't be surprised if some stuff fell over.

I wasn't alive yet in '64 but my mom was living in Fairbanks (>350 miles north of Anchorage) at the time and she felt it. There's a part of me that thinks sometimes I really should leave Alaska before the next big earthquake can happen.

California had one earlier. Is it the same one, or do you think they're related? *doesn't know anything about earthquakes*

I think I'd do some serious lying down on the floor after that, too.

Definitely not the same one. How much one earthquake might have to do with another is a subject I can't say much on, but I can tell you that we're not on the same fault or anything like that.

Seriously, I'm thinking Dramamine might not be totally inappropriate the next time that happens.
