Earthquake! (wait...I didn't feel anything...)

I got a text from my neighbor Lezlie at 4:49 p.m. that said "It was an earthquake.  Welcome to Alaska!"

Luke and I were down in the Muldoon area of Anchorage (a.k.a. the closest shopping center to us that has a Target, Lowes, and BestBuy...among other stores), and we didn't feel a thing...

That doesn't mean it didn't happen though...it was a 3.56 earthquake at exactly 4:48 p.m.!

And from what I've found, it won't be the last.  (But Luke says the little quakes are a good sign.  When the little ones stop...then, well you figure it out.)

And just for future reference, this is a picture I found in the online Alaska textbook I have been reading (I figure if we live here, we might as well know stuff too!)

Oh, so that's where the Aleutian islands came from...and they are...volcanic?!?  (See, this is why I have been reading an online Alaska textbook!!!)
