Huge earthquake rocks buildings in Anchorage; tsunami warning issued
A 6.6 magnitude earthquake has rocked buildings in Anchorage, prompting people to run out of offices and seek shelter under office desks. The U.S. Geological Survey says the earthquake was centered about 7 miles north of Alaska's largest city.
Officials issue tsunami warning for coastal areas of southern Alaska after earthquake. There was a tsunami alert for Cook Inlet, the National Weather Service in Anchorage said on Twitter. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

Alaska must be a challenging environment to build earthquake proof buildings and infrastructure. The extreme cold weakens and turns materials brittle making whatever structures built prone to failure once it experiences a large earthquake. |

The US history of earthquakes usually has Alaska as the strongest and longest
ones.
