[OT]:: EARTHQUAKE - ANCHORAGE ALASKA - 2018-11-30 17:29:28 UPDATED: (M7.0) Southern Alaska 61.3 -149.9 (2a042)

For 'interest'

Astoundingly well targeted ON Anchorage.
Amazingly low death toll - apparently - but high damage.

As an "unreliable rule", most damage tends to occur at about a distance
from epicentre equal to depth - 31 km in this case.
