 Paul, are you OK?Alaska hit with aftershock after 7.1-magnitude earthquake. A magnitude-6.8 earthquake [7.1, 6.8 - what's the diff? /sarc] struck early Sunday knocked items off shelves and walls in south-central Alaska and jolted the nerves of residents in this earthquake-prone region. But there were no immediate reports of injuries. The earthquake struck about 1:30 a.m. Alaska time and was centered 53 miles west of Anchor Point in the Kenai Peninsula, which is about 160 miles southwest of Anchorage, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. About two hours later, a magnitude-4.3 aftershock hit the Cook Inlet, the agency said. Posted by: Barbara 2016-01-24 |
