A massive magnitude 7.3 earthquake struck off the coast of Sand Point, Alaska at 12:37 a.m. local time, sending shockwaves across the region and triggering an urgent tsunami warning for South Alaska and the Alaska Peninsula.

📍 Epicenter: 87 km south of Sand Point
🌊 Depth: 20.1 km (shallow quake = stronger surface shaking)

The quake jolted residents awake as powerful tremors rattled homes and businesses across the coastal region. The National Tsunami Warning Center confirmed tsunami wave activity and issued immediate evacuation alerts from Kennedy Entrance to Unimak Pass.

🚨 Emergency alerts went out across towns along Alaska’s rugged shoreline, urging people to seek higher ground.

Alaska sits along the Pacific Ring of Fire, one of the most seismically active zones in the world. This region has experienced some of the largest earthquakes in U.S. history, including the deadly 1964 Great Alaska Earthquake.

⚠️ No tsunami warnings were issued for Hawaii or the continental U.S., but officials are on high alert as aftershocks continue to rumble through the area.

🎥 Footage shows the exact moment the quake hit, with intense shaking and real-time reactions from those on the ground. The situation is ongoing as emergency crews assess damage and monitor for further threats.
