I am! lucky for me i am inland and pretty far away from the epicenter and don't have to worry about tsunamis.

 
I didn't even feel it. No warnings in my area either.

From what I've heard recently, minor damage in outlying communities; nothing catastrophic.

 
I keep forgetting how effin' big that state is. The epicenter was off the coast of one of the Aleutian Islands, so it makes sense that not a lot of people on the mainland even felt it.

 
Coincidentally, it is the 50th anniversary of the Great Alaska Earthquake...
