7.2 Magnitude Earthquake hits Alasska
There was an 7.2 earthquake just of the coast of Alaska that struck Friday. The quake was about 22.1 mile deep in a relatively temblor capable of causing damage. It actually hit one of the Aluetian Islands which is about 120 miles away from Akta, Alaska. In June there was an earthquake that hi tin almost the exact same area that this one hit. It had a 7.2 magnitude.
The U.S. geological Survey said that the earthquake struck in waters about 6:55 a.m. ET. The tsunami warning was in effect for Unimak Pass to Amchitka, but was canceled an hour later.

Thanks, Justin. Do you know if the earthquake was felt in Canada or even in the continental U.S.? Please don’t forget to include a hyperlink to the original article.
Natural disasters are horrible. I’m glad the Earthquake didn’t cause any damage itself, but I fear what will happen if the tsunami strikes.
Wow, thats scary if you live in Alaska, or any where in the tsunami zone. I hope that there were no casualties or major injures, and I hope that we can prevent earthquake damage in the future.
