NEW YORK (BNO NEWS) — A tsunami warning was issued for some coastal areas in Alaska on early Friday morning after a powerful earthquake struck southeast of Amukta Pass, officials said.
The 7.1-magnitude earthquake at 1.55 a.m. local time (1055 GMT) was centered about 45 miles (72 kilometers) southeast of Amukta Pass, which is 125 miles (201 kilometers) west of Adak. It struck about 6.2 miles (10 kilometers) deep, making it a shallow earthquake, according to the West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center.
As a result of the powerful earthquake a tsunami warning has been issued which includes the coastal areas of Alaska from Unimak Pass to Amchitka Pass. Unimak Pass is 80 miles (128 kilometers) northeast of the Dutch Harbor.
“A Tsunami Warning means that all coastal residents in the warning area who are near the beach or in low-lying regions should move immediately inland to higher ground and away from all harbors and inlets including those sheltered directly from the sea,” the West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center said in a bulletin. “Those feeling the earth shake, seeing unusual wave action, or the water level rising or receding may have only a few minutes before the tsunami arrival and should move immediately. Homes and small buildings are not designed to withstand tsunami impacts. Do not stay in these structures.”

The aleutians are already considered to be in some of the most dangerous to navigate waters in the world.
