we have earthquakes around here all the time too, just don't pay much attention to them anymore. not a big one (yet) but in anchorage when i had my wisdom teeth pulled and on some good drugs, it was quite fun.

there are also active volcanos around here. they are always smoking, but according to the volcanologists, they think one of them going to be a big one soon.

one around anchorage was causing lots of problems for awhile.
