| Over 1,000 Aftershocks Shake Alaska After 7.0 Earthquake that Struck Anchorage
More than 1,000 aftershocks have shaken Alaska since the magnitude 7.0 earthquake that rocked the state Friday, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. While the majority of the aftershocks were measured at magnitude 2.5 or less, about 350 small earthquakes were higher than 2.5 and around a dozen registered higher than magnitude 4.5. The original quake's epicenter was about eight miles north of downtown Anchorage and caused structural damage to buildings and buckled roadways. Fortunately, no deaths or injuries were caused by the quake. "There is major infrastructure damage across Anchorage," said the Anchorage Police Department. "Many homes and buildings are damaged. Many roads and bridges are closed." After a long night of aftershocks, Randall Cavanaugh, an Anchorage attorney, told the Associated Press: "They're disturbing, and I'm not putting anything away that could fall until they calm down. I kept waking up." State
