"AK", Has the jiggling stopped yet in Chugiak?

Alaska reporting in. We did not feel any shaking or jiggling on this one in Chugiak. The epicenter of the earthquake was over 667 miles from us. It was by the "inside" passage closest to Sitka. The Alaska Earthquake information system pegged the earthquake at 6.84 magnitude.

Thank you for your concern--that was definately a big one. My biggest "ride" to date was one that had an epicenter in Denali Park--about 300 miles to the North. About 5 years ago. It was about a 7.0. It tore up roads North of here near Tok and Mentasta. We shook and shuddered for about 45 seconds and had about a 25 second aftershock. When that is going on it seems like a very long time. No damage, but the pictures on the wall were crooked and the chandalier was swaying for a little while after.
