At 8:30 this morning a 7.0-magnitude earthquake shook Anchorage. A tsunami warning is in effect for the east side of the Alaska Peninsula, Cook Inlet and the southern Kenai Peninsula.
The National Tsunami Warning Centercautions that tsunamis can travel hundreds of miles per hour, so residents of these areas should evacuate to high ground and stay away from beaches.
