Additional undesirable outcomes of the Alaska earthquakes include financial damages. CNN projects that Alaska may experience millions or billions of dollars in financial setbacks.
Following the earthquakes outside of Anchorage, the city’s airport temporarily shut down. However, as of late Friday afternoon, the airport’s operations commenced; although passengers of certain flights are almost guaranteed to experience certain delays.
Individuals Impacted by the Anchorage Earthquake
Residents of Anchorage, Alaska have publically spoken out about the ordeal. Melissa Lohr informed CNN that Friday marked her first experience of ever undergoing an earthquake:
“It felt like my car was uncontrollably sliding left and right. I just didn’t understand because it was going perfectly fine up until then. It felt like the ground was gonna open up underneath you.”
At this time, Lohr remains trapped inside of her home. The bridge and gates each face obstructions due to sinkholes and other damages from the earthquakes.
