Los Angeles. A 7.3-magnitude Earthquake tremor was felt in Alaska, USA. Due to this shock, small waves of Tsunami Waves were also seen on the coast of Alaska. However, no news of any damage has been reported so far.
According to the National Center for Sysmology, the tremors were felt on Tuesday morning. The administration has issued a tsunami warning due to the earthquake. According to the agency, tsunami warnings have been issued from Kennedy Entrance to Unimac Pass, being told that the earthquake came 41 km from the ground 94 km from the town of Sand Point.
Waves of about two feet were recorded at the sand point. It was 100 kilometers from the epicenter of the earthquake. The earthquake struck at a depth of 40 km from the surface at 2:24 AM according to Indian time.
Residents of the areas around the Alaska coast are being evacuated from their homes and taken to higher places in view of the tsunami threat. This area of Alaska where tsunami waves have been observed is a very sparsely populated area.
NOAA said the tsunami warning was downgraded to less-severe advice and that affected areas "should not expect widespread flooding." Gary Hengh, an official with the city administration, told the Anchorage Daily News that the earthquake was felt in the nearby Alaska Peninsula community near King Cove, but nothing was damaged. At the same time, Michael Ashley, a resident of Cold Bay, jokingly said that the earthquake was a very good ride.
