A tsunami warning has been issued for south Alaska and the Alaska Peninsula after a massive 7.3-magnitude earthquake, according to the National Weather Service.
Wednesday’s magnitude 7.3 earthquake off Alaska's Aleutian Islands chain struck in a region that has experienced a handful of powerful quakes within the last five years — including one that shook communities almost exactly two years earlier.
