Anyone have news about the earthquakes or how/if they might affect our visits?

A Google search of stories doesn't mention any damage or injuries in Skagway. I am sure the cruise lines are waiting to hear similar info before any changes in cruises takes place.

 

Be patient.

Just normal Alaska earthquakes. One was a 6.2 north of Haines and one was a 6,3 north of Skagway. There was also a 5.2 north of Skagway and numerous other smaller quakes. Won't affect anything....

My first thought is just hoping that nobody was injured...

I had already seen that there were no injuries or serious damage. I certainly am not that callous to only care about how it would affect me. I was simply asking if anyone had heard anything since what I found on google wasn't much.

Report from north of the border. Appears that the reported damage so far has been minimal. Roads, bridges and other infrastructure being inspected. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/earthquake-yukon-alaska-1.4093105

 

First ship due to arrive there tomorrow.

Wow, sorry you took my post completely the wrong way. It wasn't a slight or attack in any way, it just a comment hoping nobody was injured as that was my first thought and given that aftershocks were/are still happening, I hope it continues to be that there are no injuries or serious damage.

Not too worried about the earthquakes.... however, first ships north have the possibility of running into a major storm hitting SE Alaska with winds to 45 knots and up to 18 ft seas... This forecast is for Dixon Entrance, which would affect ships crossing Queen Charlotte Strait and heading up to Ketchikan or Sitka. Once in the inside passage expect seas to 8 ft.

I did take it completely the wrong way. Sorry about that. :)
