Earthquake!

Just a little trivia....did you know that Alaska has more earthquakes than any other US state? Yep, its true and this morning in southcentral Alaska we got a little wake-up! A magnitude 5.2 earthquake, centered down on the Kenai Peninsula, was felt as far north as Willow, which is the town just north of me, and a little over an hour from Anchorage. I was sitting here at the computer working on my craft blog when my chair started to move, and then everything else started to move. However, my 3 kids slept right through it! LOL

The town I live in has a seisometer at city hall, and the first picture is what was recorded here in my town. For being about 70 miles SSW of the epicenter, not too shabby!
