From Daily Mail: An earthquake of magnitude 7.0 rocked Alaska, with tremors being felt as far away as Canada.
The United States Geological Survey said on Saturday that the quake struck the region around Yakutat in the state at a depth of 6.21 miles.
Yakutat had a population of just 657 people in 2020 and is some 300 miles away from Anchorage, where the quake was also felt.
The USGS recorded another three quakes in the region shortly after, including a magnitude 5.3 and a magnitude 5.0 quake.
There have been no immediate reports of damage or injury yet.
