The Inertia on MSNCanceled Tsunami Warning Had Alaskans Fleeing to High GroundA powerful offshore earthquake Wednesday triggered a tsunami warning on a stretch of Alaskan coastline - which was then soon after canceled.
Just after the quake, NOAA's National Tsunami Warning Center issued Tsunami Warnings for the immediate Alaska coastline from Kennedy Entrance to Unimak Pass, including all of Kodiak Island, Chignik and Cold Bay. The U.S. Coast Guard reported it evacuated personnel from its base at Kodiak to higher ground and had two air crews stand ready to assist.
