I’ve got liquid smoke and barbecue sauce and pickles ... broken on the floor,” the manager of the local general store said. “It smells horrendous in here.”
The giant earthquake was recorded at 12:37 p.m. local time, southeast of Sand Point, a community located on Popof Island in the Aleutian Chain.
No damage was immediately reported. The main threat had been dangerous currents or waves, not widespread inundation, the U.S. Tsunami Warning Center said.
A magnitude 7.3 earthquake struck 54 miles south of Sand Point, Alaska, triggering a tsunami warning. The warning was later downgraded to an advisory, impacting areas like Kodiak, Cold Bay, and Homer.
