Earthquake hit Alaska

Posted on 23 June 2009 by deanmark

A 5.3 magnitude earthquake was felt in Alaska today at 11:28 am causing people to dive under desks and huddling doorways.


Monday’s earthquake and its aftershocks had nothing to do with Mount Redoubt, Alaska’s most active volcano with a series of explosions earlier this year. Dave Schneider, a geophysist at the Alaska Volcano Observatory, said the volcano’s seismic instruments more than 100 miles from the epicenter picked up the temblors, which he enjoyed from his Anchorage office.

The epicenter of the earthquake was located 58 miles from Anchorage the largest city in Alaska. The West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center says there are no possibilities of a tsunami hitting the Alaskan coast.
