ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- A 6.6 magnitude earthquake has rocked buildings in Anchorage, prompting people to run out of offices and seek shelter under office desks. The U.S. Geological Survey says the earthquake was centered about 7 miles north of Alaska's largest city.
Officials issue tsunami warning for coastal areas of southern Alaska after earthquake. There was a tsunami alert for Cook Inlet, the National Weather Service in Anchorage said on Twitter.

A 6.6 is not a huge earthquake.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It all depends on the depth and intensity. A 6.6 can be more damaging that say a 7.5 if the depth is more shallow.

At least it didn’t happen during the height of the Cruise season.
The natives can deal with these things.

heard from Big Lake. Cracks in the walls, all the kitchen cabinet contents on the floor, and the dog won’t come back in the house. Uncle is in Wasilla and can’t get thru major road, trying back roads now. Cell service back on.

Day and Night and the three phases of twilight which, from lightest to darkest, are called civil, nautical and astronomical twilight. Here's a map showing the areas of light and dark around the world right now:

Visibility is still quite good during civil twilight, the period just before sunrise and just after sunset. You can see Alaska in the top left corner.
