I'm a bit closer than Jed and I never felt anything.

Alaska is sort of large, eh?

For a second there I thought this thread was about a member of the Shaker sect.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - A magnitude-8.0 earthquake was widely felt in communities along Alaska's sparsely populated Aleutian Islands on Monday, but there were no immediate reports of damage.

The earthquake recorded at 12:53 p.m. local time was initially reported with a magnitude of 7.1, but Ruppert says that was upgraded to 8.0. The quake was centred about 20 kilometres southeast of Little Sitkin Island.

Aleutian Islands far from here. I did not even know about it until now. Got to go check it out, thanks for the news.

Watching the news for updates...tsunami warning issued. Quake reported to be in Aleutian Islands.

Hope Jed is ok.
