I am not there right now, and have not heard from my family yet!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

Just heard from one of my sons on his way to get his kids at school. They rode it out without damage, but there is lots of damage to roads, the power
and phone systems, and who knows what else at this point!

Anchorage international airport is closed! For a relatively small population base, the city has one of the busiest airports in the world!
It is an air crossroad between Asia, Europe, and North America. As I am writing this, there are jets in the air wondering where they are going to
land!

Elmendorf air base is even closer to the epicenter than Anchorage International. There are other long airstrips scattered around Alaska, but none are
set up to support the air traffic that passes through there!
