Alaska Tsunami Warning Canceled After Earthquake: Cruise Ship Passengers React
A 7.3 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Alaska, prompting tsunami warnings for communities along a 700-mile stretch. Evacuations were ordered as officials monitored the situation, but the warning was quickly downgraded to an advisory, then canceled, with no significant damage reported. The quake, which occurred south of Sand Point, triggered numerous aftershocks and was felt as far away as Anchorage. This event marks the fifth major earthquake in the region since 2020, prompting seismologists to note ongoing seismic activity.
