We had a 7.1 that seemed to shake forever a year and a half ago. Mass damage to homes/businesses roads severely damaged, and major highway bridges closed due to damage. We came home to a house that had emptied most of the kitchen cabinets, wall decorations on the floor, garage shelf contents strewn all over the garage floor, no power for a long time (substation and switch stations damaged), and undrinkable well water. This all happened on a November 30th so we had to repair our wood stove chimney and fire up the woodstove to keep the house from freezing, used what bottled water we had left from the camper, and fired up the Honda generator from the camper for a little power. If it wasn't for the woodstove, our Wolf Creek would have become home! You sure learn what's really important in times like that.
MORSNOW, good post. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, I agree with you (You sure learn what's really important in times like that). Sounds like lots of work putting things back in order, with the stress of having no power for heat, cooking, water, etc. Most Alaskans are very 'hardy' people. My son and his wife live in Healy. It sure can get cold up that way.
We were camping for the summer of 2017 up in Healy area when my wife accidently fell off the rear bumper of the TC while it was loaded onto the F-350. Like you said, when certain things happen in our lives, we certainly understand what is really important to us.
