A major earthquake struck 170 miles off Alaska early Tuesday, but despite initial concerns, the authorities lifted all tsunami warnings, watches and advisories within four hours. I cant imagine what a scare it would be to live on the coast with a tsunami coming.. Glad things are better there now.. some reported quake to be around 7.6 .. another good sized one ..

At least, Alaska is lightly populated. Can you imagined hitting the CA coast?

@kayshope From the picture it does not look like fun to clean up the mess. I am glad it was not a tsunami.

Scary! I hope everyone including wildlife is safe! Especially with all the oil rigs and things there it could be an even worse crisis!

That must be a strong one. I have read this year, there will be a lot of earth movements and volcano eruptions especially in those countries near the ring of fire.
