To top it all off, we just had a 5.9 earthquake.
We? Seems a little melodramatic.
This particular earthquake was recorded as being 95 miles below the surface, in the Cook Inlet region, a remote part of AK.
In a state which has 20,000 quakes a year, 3775 in October alone, this was just another regular day in Alaska.
