Parts of southern Alaska under tsunami warning after reported magnitude 7.5 earthquake near Sand Point


Parts of southern Alaska are under a tsunami warning after a reported 7.5 magnitude earthquake off Sand Point in the Alaska Peninsula coastline. The earthquake struck about 62 miles southeast of Sand Point just before 12:55 p.m., according to the U.S. Geological Survey. “It was a pretty good shaker here,” said David Adams, co-manager of Marine View Bed and Breakfast in Sand Point. In Kodiak, about 445 miles northeast of Sand Point, tsunami sirens reportedly went off. "Residents and cannery workers are evacuating to higher ground until we know more about the tsunami warning,” he said.
