Huaco Kid Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 after a ground-shaking anomaly occurred near Anchorage, AK today. Residents are reporting a dark and noxious gas cloud with the distinct odor of moose-chili. HazMat crews have been alerted. 2 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tadbart Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 (edited) LOL! Tsunami warnings for coastal areas. My bud posted that it was a pretty good shake, and that he was driving inland to Eagle River from south Anchorage to pick up his son from school. Unsure if there's damage to his home in town just yet. All well in your hood, Smoke? Edited November 30, 2018 by tadbart 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK_Stick Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Biggest quake I’ve been through, and I was born and raised here. Live a few miles from the epicenter. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janice6 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I remember all the Amateur Radio Emergency traffic after the Anchorage Earthquake of '64. It was quite scary to hear of the devastation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tadbart Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Great pics, Stick. Thank you. This one looks bad. That off ramp is gonna be out of commission for a while, and I hear there is structural damage to a school in town. No word on casualties yet. No power east side of ANC. Airport closed. All my Alaskans have reported in, still waiting to hear from Walt here... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tadbart Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 My bud got up to Eagle River and got his son, they're driving back to town now. Traffic is snarled because of road damage and no lights. Felt a couple aftershocks. He said that this was the first one they've had, that really scared him. Yeah, Janice. I think that's the ramp to the airport road. Damn. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was dozens of miles south. Lots of rocking and rolling, but no reports of damage from the peninsula yet. This is the road to my house 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK_Stick Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Still feeling aftershocks. Have had several in the 4-5 magnitude range. And lots of little one jolt ones that rattle stuff in the sink. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tadbart Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Damn, Stick. That's BAD. My friend works at the Native hospital off E Tudor, lives over by the airport. Just heard that power is back on in the Dimond area. Runways at ANC appear fine, and the airport is no longer evacuated, flights resuming. My gut is tore up over this for all you guys. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK_Stick Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 thankfully our building codes and general preparedness for earthquakes seems to have paid off. There are some damaged houses and roads but sounds like even though it was a big shake we came out relatively well. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tadbart Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 local facebook page with firsthand reports talk about some bridge damage, as well as a couple residential structure fires. no reports of loss of life, no tsunami. thank goodness it wasn't worse. still got a lot of stuff to fix and clean up, though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moeman Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Ouch! Thought this a a joke until I checked the news. One of the hard things is so little daylight this time of year... been there many times and gotta wonder about the roads near water and cars with people taking a spill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK_Stick Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Other than the overpass on minnesota, it sounds like most of the reported bridge damage is partially incorrect. They closed bridges to inspect them, but most are being cleared and reopened 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily it happened at 8:30 as the sun was just coming up, so we should have all of the daylight today to inspect/respond. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reports of some damage to the highway up toward Palmer, as well. What a mess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
