"Southern Alaskan Coast Shaken by 7.2 Earthquake, Tsunami Advisory Lifted"
A magnitude 7.2 earthquake struck off the southern coast of Alaska, prompting a tsunami advisory that has since been canceled. The earthquake occurred near Sand Point and King Cove, with a small tsunami observed in those areas. There is no threat of a tsunami for other Pacific coasts. The Shishaldin volcano also emitted ash, leading to a "watch" being issued by the Alaska Volcano Observatory.
