It was in Alaska, but not the capital.

Only 13 km from the city, yike. City shown bottom centre on this image.

Road not looking healthy.

Doesn’t seem to be a huge amount of damage to engineered buildings, or a huge death toll. Amazing for an earthquake of that intensity. Newcastle earthquake was only 5.6, one of the aftershocks in Anchorage was bigger than that.

“No deaths or injuries were reported.” Amazing.

Is this the biggest earthquake in the history of Anchorage?
I know there have been other big ones there.

No, the 27 March 1964 earthquake was also nearby, and had a whopping magnitude of 9.2. It seems that 7.0 is relatively small for an Alaskan earthquake.

More than fatalities and/or structures were involved.
Anchorage (as the name implies) is one of the only
places any sizable ship can find…er…anchorage…

If supply ships and tankers, are unable to off load
their cargo due to damaged docks, and trucks are
not able to transport food and fuel along damaged
rails, roads and airstrips, …with Winter coming on,
the situation can soon become extremely dire
