Haven't heard of any.  Anchorage Daily News said we had a 5.7 a few days ago in the Cook Inlet area. My wife was in the L. Clark area this weekend and felt an earthquake Saturday some time.  With 2 boys 7 and 10 in the house it would have to be a 7+ for me to notice.  Many Alaskan earthquakes are pretty deep in the earth, our buildings are built heavy for the cold so it has to be a big shake to do much damage compared to California.  A few years ago there was a pretty big quake in the interior, messed up roads and stuff but people hardly noticed it until they saw the roads.  If it had happened where there was a lot of people it could have been a different story.

Associated with the Cook Inlet quakes, one nearby volcano has been upgraded to code orange.

New seismic activity at Mount Redoubt increased significantly early Sunday and may be the prelude to an eruption, "perhaps within hours to days," the Alaska Volcano Observatory is reporting.
