Magnitude 6.7 Earthquake Strikes Alaska: USGS

By Yereth Rosen

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (Reuters) - A magnitude 6.7 quake struck just south of Point MacKenzie, Alaska on Friday, the U.S. Geological Survey said.

The quake had a depth of 26.7 miles (43 km) and its epicenter was located 7 miles (11.4 km) from Anchorage.

Although the National Weather Service initially said there was no tsunami danger, a few minutes later the agency said on Twitter that there was a warning in place for Cook Inlet.
