Magnitude 7.9 quake off Alaska prompts tsunami warning for Canadian & US West Coast
ANCHORAGE, Jan 23 - A magnitude 7.9 earthquake hit the Gulf of Alaska in the early hours of Tuesday, prompting warnings of a possible tsunami down the Canadian and U.S. west coast and as far away as Hawaii.
Local radio on the Alaskan island of Kodiak, close to the epicenter, urged listeners to move away from coastal areas.
"This is a tsunami warning. this is not a drill. Please get out to higher ground," said the announcer on KMXT public radio. "If you are on the flats, get up on one of the hills ... Just go high."
There were no immediate reports of damage or injury.
The quake, initially measured at magnitude 8.2, hit around 250 km (160 miles) southeast of Chiniak, Alaska at a depth of 25 km at 0931 GMT, the U.S. Geological Survey said.

Well, that warning came & went pretty fast... warning now cancelled.
I reckon there'd be plenty of pissed off people in Hawaii ... first, the missile alert, then messages telling them to move to higher ground due to a tsunami alert.... although possible and real... was cancelled not long after it was issued.
The positive of course is they are safe, but I bet they are wondering.... what next?
About these news services, which is correct, 7.9 or 8.2 ???
Depends on who the non media source was I guess....Originally Posted by cmangle

Just another day at school...
The fact that there's a highway to hell and a stairway to heaven says a lot about the anticipated traffic flow.
Hawaii Governor could have ended missile fiasco sooner — but he forgot his Twitter password
