In case you hadn't heard, Anchorage was hit with a 7.0 earthquake earlier today. Attached are a couple of photos of highway damage caused by the earthquake. Not good.

Video of these same scenes was on our news this morning. Natural disaster has been declared and they're saying damage is extensive.

Truly horrific, Its not a place we would associate with earthquakes, in such a hostile environment it means double trouble.

Much like the rest of the Pacific coast, Alaska has significant seismic activity.

The news reported that Alaska typically has about 40,000 earthquakes a year! I assume most of them are pretty small, though.
