One minute your thinking about a second cup of coffee and then next minute the world blows up.
Thanks be to God that there wasn't extensive loss of life.

This reminds me of Anchorage in 1964. I was living in Los Angeles, but the quake made the national news big time. Of course, Californians are kind of sensitive about earthquakes, too ... .

Fixing the roads, at least temporarily, will be relatively simple. Wait a week or so for the aftershocks to stop, fill the holes in with stone and gravel, and apply a little water. Instant rock-hard pavement!

Anchorage is built on a Bog, so it can move a lot like a bowl of Jello.... "unconsolidated" . Filled in with sediment..

Actually a lot of it is swamp/marsh. C street from N.L.s to International has around eight feet of fill from Spenard to the Seward Highway. Hauling gravel was bib business here.
