7.3 magnitude earthquake rattles Alaskan island, prompting tsunami warning

A 7.3 -size earthquake was struck near Sand Point, Alaska, on Wednesday, which led to a tsunami warning against national weather service.

The warning was later reduced to a consultant, according to the agency.

Sand Point is located on the northwest island of Boubov, off the Alaska Peninsula. It is about 600 miles southwest of Anchorag, Alaska.

The earthquake hit 54 miles south of Sand Point, according to the US Geological Survey (USGS).

Consulting a tsunami is valid from South Alaska and the Alaska Peninsula to the entrance to Kennedy and UNIMak Pass, Alaska, on the Pacific Coast.

In addition to Sand Point, Bay Cold Cold Cond and Kodiak are included in the consulting area.

Kodiak police told ABC News Sirens in the city, indicating the transition to high land. Any effects in the region are expected to arrive at about 2:40 pm

There were no reports on the damage of the earthquake in Kodiak, according to the police.

Michael Ashley of Cold Bay Lodge told ABC News he was working abroad when he noticed things vibrating, but he says it was “not very intense.”

Cold Bay was under a tsunami, but Ashley said, “The residents are not worried because we are 100 feet above sea level.” These large earthquakes are common in the area in the summer.
