Earthquake hits near Anchorage, Alaska, triggering tsunami warning


By Janelle Griffith

A 7.0-magnitude earthquake hit Alaska Friday, the United States Geological Survey said.

The quake, which hit about eight miles north of Anchorage, prompted authorities to declare a tsunami warning.



Videos posted to social media showed students taking shelter under their desks and grocery store items knocked to the floor from shelves.

"Reports of road damage have been confirmed, including International Airport Road," Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport said from its official Twitter account, adding that drivers should take "extreme caution."

Tsunami. Huge tsunami! Why does everything bad happen to me??? I saw the photos. Harrible. Harrible. The worst, the likes of which, the world.....has never seen. Believe me. Those roads wouldn’t be that bad if Obama hadn’t depleted the budget. He depleted-Listen-Obama, a Muslim, did nothing for our Veterans. Nothing! I funded, some people say, and it could be more, probably more. I funded the biggest military budget, ever. Some say, historic!

Mr President. What about the people of Alaska?

That’s a stupid question! What a stupid question!

It was crazy but no reported deaths yet. Schools are closed. Power came back on after about 2 hours out.

Alaska got plenty of Oil money and the state controls some of it.

They should have no problem cleaning shit up without Federal help.

Remember, Alaskan citizens get a annual check from the Oil thst state pumps.

Socialism in a GOP State.

I wonder if the Annoying Orange will brave the frigid temps and go there for a photo op/press brief and if he'll provide further infrasturcture funding to complete the Road to Nowhere extending to Nowhere else.

I wish you guys in Anchorage a speedy recovery from this event, but it's gonna be a longer winter from looking at the damage to roadways. Call in the Ice Road Truckers and Trump'll show up.

I can remember the State trying to recruit people to move to Alaska with THAT being an incentive.

If you notice on cable, they got a shitload of reality shows based around Alaska dealing with the railroad, fishing, mofos living off the grid, etc.

They got a lot of black folks living up there surprisingly.
