Is everyone OK up that way. 8.2 is not a small quake.

Alaskan Earthquake

The west coast tsunami warning has been lifted.
I recall in the late 1960's driving through Crescent City, CA seeing the wipe out of that city from the 1964 Alaska quake. The '64 quake was greater magnitude than this recent one, still amazing Crescent City could have been taken out by a quake in Alaska.

All well. We evacuated after the tsunami sirens woke us at 1:30. Got home at 4. Not the best sleep, but all are safe and we walked down to the water and saw no wave based up the snow line on the beach.
Thanks for thinking of us John.

We had a good scare too. Glad nothing happened there...
Glad everyone is safe. People are not aware of the destruction that natural occurrences can cause. It has been said that 2017 was the most expensive on record as to the billions of dollars damage done by fires, floods, etc.
Florida municipal wells reported changes in the water levels after the earthquake occurred in Alaska.
