Major Earthquake Strikes off Alaskan Coast

[Guest]

A strong earthquake struck off the coast of the northwestern U.S. state of Alaska late Thursday.

The U.S. Geological Survey says a 7.2 magnitude quake was detected near the Aleutian Islands in the Pacific Ocean, more than 1,600 kilometers southwest of the city of Anchorage. The quake was measured at a depth of 40 kilometers.

The Alaska Tsunami Warning Center issued a tsunami warning for the coastal areas of Amchitka Pass to Dutch Harbor, but lifted it about an hour after the quake struck. There have been no reports of injuries or damage.

Can't wait to see what he says about this. I know he's going to chart it and see where one this severe will affect elsewhere. This guy seems to be a real genius!
