It would be astonishing if an earthquake took out Elemendorf. It would take a bigger quake than what hit in 64.

Should be one heckuva ride. Work is a 7 mile walk from home. I keep a get home bag that, barring serious injury, would be sufficient for my needs. I also have lots of supplies at work, in a building that survived the 64 quake without a scratch, dent or crack.

Given the scale of development that's occurred here since 64, I suspect the amount of property damage to be proportionately greater.

It is in my opinion an accurate assessment that the north and south road access into/out of Anchorage would be destroyed quickly. So to with the rail service. Since there are also no marinas in Anchorage, the only way out would be likely by air.

Hopefully when the big one hits it is during the warmer part of the year. Wintertime would royally suck all the way around.
