7.1 quake strikes off Alaska
An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 7.1 struck Friday off the coast of Alaska, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.
The quake was 6.2 miles deep - a relatively shallow temblor capable of causing damage.
The epicenter was in the Aleutian Islands, about 120 miles from Atka, Alaska.
The quake prompted a tsunami warning for coastal areas of Alaska, from Unimak Pass, Alaska to Amchitka Pass, Alaska, the West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center said.
There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries in the sparsely populated area near the epicenter.

Got to be Bushs fault.
Most deffinently Bush's fault.
Amazing. ABC News had a report about the two safest states relative to natural disasters. Less than 24 hours after that report, a major earthquake in Alaska! I guess God says not so fast.
Alaska has earthquakes every year. They just aren't as widely known because media focuses on natural disasters that strike highly populated areas. Nothing new with the media focusing their attention on what might cause the most deaths. Alaska has the largest tsunami recorded in history, over 100 feet high at one point. I read about it in a book...I think it was call "The Wave" or something like that. Pretty sweet book covering rouge waves and tsunamis.
There are earthquakes every day somewhere on the earth and it has nothing to do with a man in the sky saying "Not so fast", it has to do with plate tectonics. I guess you think the earth is 6000 years old too, right? Also, certainly one of the two safest states in which to live regarding natural disasters is not Alaska.
Also, I'm sorry to tell you that it isn't God that creates tsunamis, it is the Earth tectonic plates moving. A part of how our planet was formed. You should probably check out the Discovery Channel sometime. Lol.
@Nicely Done. Thanks for the history lesson. By the way, the reference to God is just a matter of speaking in my neck of the woods.
Wow Just Me where did you find a class on the History of tectonic plates? Bible school?
Big one is coming sheeples.........get ready for 2012 when all planets align and pull CA apart and make it island. SELL YOUR PROPERTY NOW AND GET OUT ! Death is couple months away........right after U vote for HOBAMAMAA again. See U in the bread and water lines or the FEMA work camps.
Superst!tious much?
Get ready to admit you're wrong
So.... let me get this right. You must be saying that Obama is in some sort of Alien alliance and when he gets elected again the aliens will know they can come take California?!? But, why is that the only state they want? Couldn't we talk them into taking Jersey away? Or how about whatever state you're from, take you out of the gene pool?
hopefully there aren't too many people in that area... What's the word on any tsunami potential??
second. Also, I can't tell if there's an increase in big earthquakes or they're just reported more. Part of me feel that the Indian earthquake destabilized the tectonic plates.
hopefully this doesn't impact filming of The Deadliest Catch. I love that show
Are those Islands inhabited? Doug
Do you have some sort of obsession with putting your name after every comment? I'm just saying.Doug.
Alaska HAS had deadly tsunamis
Repent and be saved! The end is near.
I'll give a big AMEN BROTHER to that comment.
God said I will come like a thief in the night.
Repent today while there is still time, please
The end of the world is near! Kneel Before Zod!
Blasphemer! Zod is a false God. You must kneel before the Flying Spaghetti Monster!!!!
Come on CNN, please check your facts before posting these articles. The depth of the earthquake was 22 miles below the surface. Easy fact found on the USGS web site... You can do better!
Ring of fire working clockwise.
All of your comments are political and stupid. Be like the few and worry about the things that really matter when a natural disaster does occur.
My prayers are with the people of this area.
end of times.
What the heck are times?
