Tsunami advisory canceled for parts of Alaska following M7.3 earthquake; NO threat to Hawaii
ANCHORAGE (KTUU/Gray News/HawaiiNewsNow) – A tsunami advisory has been canceled for South Alaska and the Alaskan peninsula after a large earthquake struck along the Aleutian Chain Wednesday.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center says there was no tsunami threat to Hawaii.
The quake struck at 12:37 p.m. Alaska time, 10:37 a.m. Hawaii time, and measured a magnitude 7.3 with an epicenter roughly 54 miles from Sand Point along the Aleutians.
Shaking was felt all the way in Anchorage, about 600 miles away from the epicenter.
A tsunami warning was initially issued and later downgraded to an advisory, which was canceled at around 12:45 p.m. Hawaii time.
The advisory applied to the Pacific coasts from Kennedy Entrance, Alaska (40 miles SW of Homer) to Unimak Pass, Alaska (80 miles NE of Unalaska).
There was no tsunami threat to other U.S. and Canadian Pacific coasts in North America, officials said.
