    The tremor felt in SW Anchorage at 9:51 AM on 9/25/14 shook furniture and on the heavy jolt the furniture and LCD TV Swayed back and forth about 2 to 3 inches for 3 seconds, then a flower basket hanging from a hook on the ceiling fell to the floor. Then a few minor sways continued for about 10 seconds after.

    That was the longest duration of any quake in the area for a long time. It shook syrup bottles of the shelves at the espresso.
