Quakes, bears and more

Posted by Alaskology

My wife was talking to a friend in New York yesterday afternoon. One of the first things he said was, ā€œI hear you guys had an earthquake.ā€

News travels fast. He saw the report about our 5.4 quake on CNN.

I was at work when the quake hit, and it was a pretty good one. One of my co-workers had her cellphone and coat in hand and was headed for the stairs to leave the building when it finally started to slow down.

Earthquakes are one of things that makes Alaska is a unique place. But not the only thing. On the front page of the Daily News today is a photo story about brown bears showing up along the mudflats near Bird Point on Monday. I missed that, but I’m not surprised -- bears are everywhere, we don't always see them.

Earthquakes, volcanoes and bear sightings –- just a regular summer here in Alaska.

About the blog: Alaska is a wonderful and fascinating place. Whether its backcountry hiking, coastline kayaking or dining on a downtown deck, there truly is something for everyone. This blog picks up where the annual Daily News Visitors' Guide leaves off. The guide is published in late April, but that's just when summer fun starts heating up. Throughout the year, we hope to give readers a look at Alaska through local eyes. The blog also serves as a calendar of what's going on, a place to look for some outstanding vacation deals and other cool stuff. We invite your comments and your questions. E-mail me at alaskology@adn.com.
About me: I live in Anchorage, Alaska's largest city, and I served as the special sections editor at the Anchorage Daily News for nine years. My wife and I have been Alaska residents since 2000 and never plan to leave.
