It's a biggie

I lived there as a kid. Big earthquake country.

Tsunami warning for Alaska coastal areas canceled.  Wonder if that means the rest of the Pacific is clear?

Hope Zippy is ok. 

A coworker has family in Anchorage and hasn’t heard from them.

The tsunami warning is just for a very specific area around and in an inlet outside of Anchorage.

 

Accdng to Report i saw on CNN

Sounds like a whopper.   Biggest many lifelong residents have felt.  Comparable to '89 Oakland Quake.  Anchorage looks pretty wrecked.  Hope they have warm shelter for everyone.

Strange waves rippled around the world, and nobody knows why

Instruments picked up the seismic waves more than 10,000 miles away—but bizarrely, nobody felt them.

On the morning of November 11, just before 9:30 UT, a mysterious rumble rolled around the world.

The seismic waves began roughly 15 miles off the shores of Mayotte, a French island sandwiched between Africa and the northern tip of Madagascar. The waves buzzed across Africa, ringing sensors in Zambia, Kenya, and Ethiopia. They traversed vast oceans, humming across ChileNew ZealandCanada, and even Hawaii nearly 11,000 miles away.
