A powerful 7.2-magnitude earthquake struck near the Alaska Peninsula late
Saturday.

Preliminary data placed the quake about 55 miles southwest of Sand Point,
Alaska, the National Weather Service said. It had initially been measured at a
magnitude of 7.4, the United States Geological Survey said on Twitter.

It struck at about 10:48 p.m. local time. In Kodiak, Alaska, sirens sounded late
at night, according to a video posted on social media.

The quake prompted the National Weather Service in Anchorage to issue a brief
tsunami warning, saying there was a risk of "significant inundation," an alert
that was downgraded to an advisory before being canceled altogether early
Sunday.

"A tsunami was generated by this event, but no longer poses a threat," the NWS
National Tsunami Warning Center said. "Some areas may continue to see small sea
level changes."

The center's earlier update had been an advisory, urging locals near the coast
to "move off the beach and out of harbors and marinas."

In a brief tsunami warning before the advisory, weather officials had listed
times spanning about 90 minutes when tsunami waves were expected to hit the
shore "from Chignik Bay to Unimak Pass."

"Significant inundation is possible or already occurring," the service's
Anchorage office said on Twitter in announcing the earlier warning. "Move inland
to higher ground."




There was no tsunami threat in Hawaii, the state's Management Agency said.

The earthquake was along the Alaska-Aleutian subduction zone, where large
tremors are common, USGS officials said in a summary of the event.

"Since 1900, nine other earthquakes M7 and larger have occurred within 250 km of
the July 16, 2023, event," USGS said.

An 8.6-magnitude quake struck about 93 miles away on April 1, 1946, causing a
tsunami that "devastated the lighthouse on Unimak Island and swept away its five
occupants," USGS officials said. Tsunamis from that quake killed an additional
159 people in Hawaii and one person in California, according to the summary.

A 9.2-magnitude earthquake in the Alaska-Aleutian Trench on March 27, 1964, was
the second largest ever recorded by modern seismic instrumentation, officials
said.

PARENTS SHARE THE EERIEST THING A CHILD HAS EVER TOLD THEM: 'THE LAKE WANTS A
SACRIFICE'

Editor's Note: This article was originally published on April 9, 2022. It has
since been updated.

Kids often surprise parents with their unfiltered thoughts and take on the
world. Has your child ever said something that sent a chill down your spine? One
woman shared one instance of her kid recalling losing her husband from her
previous birth and it spooked her. This led to many other parents sharing
similar stories of kids saying weird spooky things. It all started when Lilah
Sturges tweeted, "What's the eeriest thing a child has ever said to you? When my
daughter was around 4-5, she calmly insisted that she had once been married to a
man named Brad Huffington. When we asked what had happened to him she replied
with a note of sadness, "He was lost at sea."



 
 

Her daughter has since grown up and is 21 now. "I mentioned this tweet to my
daughter and she reminded me that Brad lost a leg while serving in the Navy
prior to his demise and that they had five kids together," she added. While some
found the tweets amusing, those with an inclination to believe in the
supernatural were spooked. Many responded with eerie things their kids said and
here are 16 of them that spooked us:
