downtown Anchorage / Very strong shaking (MMI VII) : This quake is one of the strongest and longest I have felt since the 1964 quake. It had similar qualities to how the 64 quake began. The earth was swaying as well as sort of floating and rolling but I could still get out of bed and walk. I am glad to say,unlike the 64 quake it was not followed by 4 to 5 minutes of intense rolling waves that made it almost impossible to walk and pinned me to the ground.
