The earthquake struck at 12.37pm local time, just off the coast of Sand Point, in the Aleutian chain. Since the initial large earthquake, further tremors have been felt in the area with additional earthquakes occuring throughout the day. A tsunami warning was active from about 40 miles southwest of Homer to Unimak Pass, however, this was later changed to an advisory and was then cancelled when waves didn't hit the communities affected.
