Early morning earthquakes
Jan. 29th, 2013 04:41 pmFAIRBANKS - A pair of minor earthquakes shook the Fairbanks area early Tuesday morning.
The first quake, with a preliminary magnitude of 2.95, was centered just off Chena Hot Springs Road, according to the Alaska Earthquake Information Center. It struck at 4:38 a.m., 5 miles north of North Pole and 9 miles east of Fort Wainwright at a depth of 8 miles.
In Two Rivers, it was felt as a single strong jolt.
The second quake came at 7:58 a.m. and registered a preliminary magnitude of 2.55, according to the AEIC. It was centered in approximately the same area as the first quake.
I think I felt it! I don't remember what time it was..but I was sitting in bed against the wall (I'm super weird and wake up randomly and decide to do a crossword haha) and I felt myself get pushed away from the wall. It was a weird sensation haha. I figured it was an earthquake and meant to check in the morning but forgot till I saw it on Facebook a few minutes ago. Interesting haha
We had our first math quiz today..I'm not very confident about it even though it's just simple stuff. Sure I understand it when we go over in it class but when I try to do it myself I'm just like huh?? Ugh..I hope I did better than I thought

Would you rather be unable to stand up for yourself or never know when to back down? Never know when to back down..maybe
