I got a project with about 40 people in camp going on out at Fort Glenn, just a couple islands down the chain from the epicenter. Was sitting in bed and saw the alert for evacuation and phone started blowing up about 30 seconds later. Camp is at 85 feet, safe evacuation zone was 150+ feet. Sounds like everything went pretty smooth, but it was a bit creepy waiting out the couple hours. People on site said the creepiest part was feeling the quake - most people thought the volcano blew off. Fort Glenn (Umnak Island) is an active volcano.

onto the next one
