Earthquake around Homer
Looks like a 7.1 hit the region. Hope everyone is ok. It reminds me a bit of the 1964 quake that hit up there, we were living in Kitimat at the time & felt it then. https://www.adn.com/article/201601...

My MIL, who has had the same log house since '54 (???), says that this one seemed to move the opposite direction than did the '64 quake, like shaking left-to-right instead of front-to-back.
Of course, at 87, the memory might not be precise.
For some of the younger folks, this was probably the biggest quake they'd experienced, although I seem to recall a few at 6.5 + scattered throughout the '80's and '90's. Not like '64 though.
Both daughter and DIL called us (in Ewe-stun) shortly after the shaker...and while we could make sympathetic noises and such, we weren't quite sure what assistance we could offer from Ewe-stun.
