Earthquake with magnitude of 6.8 hits Alaska: Tsunami warning cancelled!

Alaska Earthquake: The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) reports says the earthquake of magnitude 6.8 hits Alaska, southeast of Atka, in the north-Pacific island chain at about 6:55 a.m. ET.

The tsunami warning is in effect for coastal areas of Alaska from Unimak Pass to Amchitka Pass. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said it did not see a threat of a Pacific-wide destructive tsunami from the quake.

The tsunami warning was canceled after only a small wave was recorded near Atka, Alaska, the Associated Press reports. “In Atka, they had a little bump of a wave, but nothing of any kind of a destructive power. Just a wave,” said Jeremy Zidek, a spokesman for the Alaska Department of Homeland Security.
