Anchorage, Alaska: A strong earthquake has shaken southeastern
Alaska, but officials say there is no danger of a tsunami and there are
no immediate reports of damage.
The U.S. Geological Survey says the magnitude 6.0 quake struck about 1 am on Thursday and was centered in the ocean, about 200 miles (320 kilometers) south of the capital, Juneau.
The quake was widely felt across the region, according to the Alaska Earthquake Information Center. But it had no immediate reports of any damage.
The center says the quake is an aftershock to a magnitude 7.5 temblor that struck on January 4. That quake sparked a tsunami warning for hundreds of miles along the Alaska and Canadian coasts, but it was canceled after a few hours when no damaging waves were generated.
