Snažan zemljotres pogodio je područje Aljaske danas u 09:31h po lokalnom vremenu, a magnituda potresa iznosi 7.9 Rihtera.
Prvobitno je izdano upozorenje na cunami koji se očekivao na širokom području, sve od obala Aljaske pa do Britanske Kolumbije u Kanadi i sve do Washington-a i Kalifornije. Međutim, kasnije je to upozorenje značajno ublaženo i mogućnost cunamija prema novim prognozama je na minimumu.

Eerie & scary – tsunami warning sirens going off on Kodiak Island, Alaska following the M ~8.0 earthquake offshore today. The earthquake hit at 12:31 a.m. local time!
