Former storm chaser David Ruffini in Wasilla reported, “Thank you! Everything is ok. Saved the fish tanks as cabinets exploded. Bridges collapses in Anchorage, cracked roads and all power is out. Pretty intense. Waiting on possible tsunami as I’m close to inlet.”

Anita From Alaska from Inostranka posted, “I managed to survive. Lots of aftershocks. Lots of things broken. No power. Cracks in roadways and buildings. Another day in Alaska”…”In 35 years that was the worst. I actually got under my desk and held on. Lots of things falling off desks, shelves, walls. Whole southside of town is without power. A big sink hole on one road and bridge collapse. And lots of aftershocks.”
