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.

Meh... Small quake in an almost uninhabited area (only 100 residents anywhere near there). There was a 7.2 that struck on the Denali Fault in 2003 and the worst that happened was some lady broke her arm. The largest quake on record (something like a 9.8) struck just south of Anchorage in 1964 (The Good Friday earthquake) that was much more destructive.
Basically, the tsunamis that may have possibly been created are the worst threat from this. And as this is out by the Aleutians the largest, and most potentially destructive, will hit areas with little to no population. Nothing really news worthy about this other than the size.
Sign of the times:
Matthew Chapter 24 and Luke Chapter 21 describe the event occuring in our time.
Matthew 24: 7 “For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be food shortages and earthquakes in one place after another. 8 All these things are a beginning of pangs of distress. 14 And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.
Luke 21:9 Furthermore, when YOU hear of wars and disorders, do not be terrified. For these things must occur first, but the end does not [occur] immediately.” 10 Then he went on to say to them: “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; 11 and there will be great earthquakes, and in one place after another pestilences and food shortages; and there will be fearful sights and from heaven great signs.
Oh. please spare us the sermon.
All of this stuff has been going on since time immemorial for cryin' out loud.
My Goddess is your godlette's mama!
True
False. Bears eat beets. Battle Star Galactica.
Think you might have missed the bit where the religiously inclined are prominently those who turn nation v nation & kingdom v kingdom.
Hey averse – Heil Cheney
People are so ignorant. When a politician just sits there and tries to act like they are christians and everything well 8 times out of 10 they are just putting on a show. Them two are most likely apart of the establishment and palins family is Masonic and i have seen her doing the hand signs just like bush, obama, the pope, all them E.U. leaders. Do people honestly belive that all the stuff happening at once is normal? Why do you think they have been promoting aliens out of no where when all our lives they have made fun of people for beliveng that. WAKE UP!! and on 9/11 that the laws of gravity that we were taught didn't apply to that so buildings could just FREE FALL. There is true Evil in the government. They will be judged read the bible. Revelations would be a good place cause it seems we are in it. Israels peace treaty is soon 7rs of false peace. Weird thats in the bible...so is everything elses thats going on.
Why don't you read the topic you are posting a comment on? We are talking about an earthquake here. Thanks you CNN for the Report Post option *click*
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And just exactly how does your senseless rant relate to the story? Take your medications and we'll all sing the Hallelujah Chorus.
It hit the FAUX Islands? This can't be true then...
...and a whole three people felt it!
Hopefully this isn't the fore front to larger more damaging quakes.
That was my initial thought when I read this. I really think we will see a bigger one very soon.
'sup, fools. come at me, earthquake. Dis gon b gud.
While Sarah Palin's influence over Alaskan politics might be limited these days, I'd like to know how she handles a major natural catastrophe, like an earth-quake. Will she handle it better than FEMA fumbled the ball in NOLA? My guess is that answer is yes, absolutely, and we all know FEMA did an absolutely horrendous job down there. Now imagine this woman hovering her recently painted fingernails over The Button. You know, the one that launches nuclear missles and ends life as we know it. Or, for that matter, Bachmann, who provided 6,000 free tickets to see Randy Travis in exchange for votes from her friends, and received only 4,800 votes. FAIL!
Your idiotic comment = FAIL.
There are secret societies that feel invincible because they have earthquake epicenter insurance. Unfortunately what they do not have is safety assurance.
Well said paul johnston People can peshaw god all they want All that does for me is show how much their scientific view makes them look like ungreatful fools
UnGREATful? What a hoot! Thanks for the laugh.
I have a feeling that we will see a few more bigger ones along the Pacific Coastline faults especially in the California and Vancouver regions. They are long overdue – only a matter of time.
Ya think? When it happens will you spout "I said it first"? Probably.
