It was 12:34 am by the time I was awake enough to have the where-for-all to look at the clock. The dresser drawer handles were still rattling and the entire house was rumbling with a deep moan of distress. This quake was either going to get worse or it was going to subside at any moment. It subsided.

Anchor-town is far enough inland at the end of the Cook Inlet that the earth would have to be crumbling at the seams for a tsunami to be large enough to reach us.
This earthquake was 24 hours and 59 minutes shy of two years ago when we felt the last large shaker, which was closer to Anchor-town and had a larger impact on our night.
