Kay,

Here's a link to my web page and personal accounts of people feeling the M
7.9 (revised to M 8.2, I think) earthquake of November 3, 2002.  The first
one is my wife's personal account of the quake in our house in Fairbanks.
The rest of the felt reports were compiled by a friend who was the Denali
National Park Geologist at the time of the quake.

Folks,
 
I confess that I enjoyed hearing about experiences that many 
of you shared regarding yesterday's earthquakes.  One question that I am 
asked time after time by our young budding students is "what does an earthquake 
feel like".  Having come from Oklahoma and recently retired to Oregon, 
being in an earthquake is not one of my personal experiences.
 
If any of you would like to share your personal experiences 
with my students, I would be delighted to hear from you.  You can email me 
directly at kwyatt@............. if 
you wish.
 
Thanks, also, to all of you who have provided feedback 
regarding seismometers suitable in an educational environment.
