Tsunami warning visually
Update 09:21 UTC : USGS has calculated that a strong MMI VI shaking should have been experienced at Craig (pop. 1000) and Petersburg (pop. 3000), Moderate shaking at Wrangell (pop. 2000). Many coastal locations are currently evacuating the shores and people are going to evacuation places on higher ground.
Update 09:16 UTC : Intensity III in Ketchikan, quite close to the epicenter. Intensity V average further in land. The shaking values are not extreme which is a good sign for the damages on properties. Only the Tsunami warning remains
Update 09:14 UTC : Prince of Wales Island is pretty uninhabited so shaking should be ok
Update : We have a lot of Canadian users in the site which (seen the hour of the night) means that they have felt the earthquake too.
