Tsunami warning for Alaskan islands after quake
A magnitude-8.0 earthquake has been widely felt in communities along Alaska's sparsely populated Aleutian Islands, but there have been no immediate reports of damage.
Natasha Ruppert, a seismologist with the Alaska Earthquake Center, said the communities that would have suffered damage are also under tsunami warnings, so people may not have been able to get out and check for damage yet.
The earthquake recorded at 12:53pm local time was initially reported with a magnitude of 7.1, but Ruppert says that was upgraded to 8.0. The quake was centered about 21 kilometres southeast of Little Sitkin Island.
It was recorded at a depth of 96.5 kilometres, which is relatively shallow for an earthquake in the Aleutian Islands. The shallower the quake, the more likely it will be felt.
The National Tsunami Warning Center in Palmer, Alaska, issued a tsunami warning for coastal areas between Nikolski to Attu, on the Aleutian Islands.
