Considering the how the tectonic plates align in Alaska, I'd expect this to be a common occurrence.

Nothing unusual for the Anchorage area.

If you look at a topo map of SE Alaska, it looks all chopped up like it should be real bad earthquake country. It's not; the fault lines run outside the islands and there's hardly any quakes inside.

Anchorage got a little shaking, nothing major, too small a quake, and too far from the city.    We felt nothing here in the Interior.  Anchorage feels those all the time.

What Is A Veteran?
A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.

I got it, just hard for me living in the flat country down here to understand your geography and how it functions. Our highest elevation is 1,670 feet ;) and we are only one of 4 states without documented fault lines running through it.
Thanks,

A 5.0 usually gets your attention, but it is absolutely nothing to get worked up about in these parts.  Little do-dads in the china cabinets rattle a bit, and the lamp shades do some shaking, but that's about all.  This one lasted about 10 seconds though, and that was unusual.  We get "bumps" that cause the house to creak all of the time, but it's nothing worse than what most of you experience during a thunderstorm, which is a rare occurrence up here.  My house shook a lot more when I lived near the firing ranges outside of Ft. Hood  and Ft. Sill.
