From Yahoo news.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — The official magnitude of an early morning earthquake that prompted a tsunami warning for the Alaskan coast is slightly less than the preliminary measurement.
The United States Geological Survey says a 6.8-magnitude temblor struck the Pacific Ocean around 6:55 a.m. EDT (1055 GMT) Friday. The preliminary measurement was 7.1.
Officials canceled a tsunami warning for parts of the Aleutian Islands after only a small wave was recorded in the remote community of Atka, Alaska.
State emergency officials say some Atka residents had evacuated to higher ground before the all clear was given.

No big deal, happens frequently here.  Only those affected really paid attention.  Yea, we listen, but since no one was hurt, and no damage done, we don't pay attention.  Life goes on.

A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.

Heard it on the news.  Too far away to affect us up here.  It's like a quake in LA affecting Miami.  It's 4,000miles away from here.
