Update: 7/29/21

 


A magnitude 8.2 struck off the Alaskan Peninsula late last night. The tremor was felt throughout the state. A tsunami warning was subsequently issued. It lasted nearly two hours. It reached as far as Hawaii, but the waves were only 7 inches above normal when they hit the shoreline. The threat was downgraded and lifted several hours later. There was no significant damage caused by the earthquake. This was the third powerful quake to hit Alaska in the last 18 months. Alaska had two of the most powerful earthquakes in 2020. More aftershocks are to continue. There still may be more taking place in the world in terms of significant earthquake activity.
