"We launched over this crack in the road. It's a miracle we didn't bust our tires on it," he said.

Officials with the Kenai Fire Department were also at the scene of a reported "gas leak/explosion at a home" following the earthquake. The department later said it was evacuating all homes along Lilac Lane in Kenai due to "multiple gas line ruptures." A shelter had been established at the National Guard armory for displaced residents.
