‘It Was a Big Deal': Boston Native Living in Alaska Talks Earthquake

Back-to-back earthquakes measuring 7.0 and 5.7 caused roads to buckle and kids to dive for cover Friday in Anchorage, Alska. NBC10 Boston spoke to a Boston native who was impacted by the earthquake. Dana Foley, who lived in West Roxbury for 21 years before moving to Alaska in 2011, says he realized the earthquake was a big deal when the floor underneath him started waving and rolling. Back at Boston Logan Airport, there was stress at the Alaska Airline ticket counter. New Hampshire native Killian Fields and his family were trying to get back home to Alaska. Fields said, “It’s definitely scary and it’s a real tragedy for everyone down there.”
