Anchorage Daily News says no injuries or damage, but I bet there were some scared people.

I remember on in Anchorage in about 1983 at 6:05AM. I was at work on the 3rd floor of Providence Hospital on the phone with a doctor - "Uhh. Can you hold for a moment?" It was a 6-ish.
A guy I met there went through the '64 quake; he was on one of upper floors of a hotel. He said "I wasn't scared, but I ran past a lot of people in the stairwell who were!"

I was sitting in my chair actually scanning through the MG Experience forum when I felt myself moving sideways two or three times. The mirror moved in the hallway and I could hear the house creak a few times. We are located around 150 km east of the quake on Vancouver Island but no damage. Many people I spoke to said they felt light headed or dizzy for a moment but it soon past. God knows what the big one will feel like when it comes. Have to remain optimistic. There is a price for living out here.
