Tsunami warning for BC cancelled after massive quake off Alaska
A massive 7.9 magnitude quake off of Alaska coast prompted a tsunami warning for that state earlier this week.
Residents along the province's coast were woken by warning sirens shortly after the quake with a magnitude of 7.9 struck at 1:31 a.m. "Tsunami warnings mean that a tsunami with significant inundation is possible or is already occurring", Anchorage Office of Emergency Management said in a warning for Alaska and British Columbia.
"Based on all available data a tsunami may have been generated by this natural disaster that could be destructive on coastal areas even far from the epicenter", the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said. CNN reports that officials had feared that tsunami waves could reach far inland, and issued tsunami guidance for the entire coastal area stretching from Alaska to the USA border with Mexico. "Go to high ground or move inland".
