"This is a tsunami warning. Please get out to higher ground," said the announcer on KMXT public radio. Tsunami warnings mean that a tsunami with significant inundation is possible or is already occurring," the Anchorage Office of Emergency Management said in a warning for Alaska and British Columbia. "Based on all available data a tsunami may have been generated by this earthquake that could be destructive on coastal areas even far from the epicentre," the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said. If a tsunami is generated, it could reach Hawaii by 4:23am (1423 GMT) at the earliest, it added.
