Robert found this in the newspaper today.

Earthquake shakes southern Alaska: ANCHORAGE, Alaska - The U.S. Geological Survey says a preliminary magnitude 4.8 earthquake has shaken Anchorage and other communities in southern Alaska, but no damage has been reported.

The earthquake was recorded at 1:48 a.m.local time Saturday. The USGS National Earthquake Information Center in Golden, Colo., says it was most strongly felt n the Valdez area.

The quake was centered about 100 miles east-north-east of Anchorage and 25 miles south of Nelchina. It was about 20 miles deep.

Valdez is about 45 miles away from Cordova. I assume no news is good news. I will ask him about it tomorrow when we receive our email.
