VANCOUVER – British Columbia’s emergency information agency says there is no tsunami threat to the province after a 7.3 magnitude earthquake rattled Alaska’s panhandle.
The all-clear for B.C.’s coast came after the U.S. National Tsunami Warning Centre issued a warning for parts of southern Alaska and the peninsula.
It says a tsunami has been confirmed for the area and impacts are expected.
The U.S. Geological Survey says the quake struck off the peninsula’s coast near Sand Point, Alaska, at 1:37 p.m.
It’s unclear if anyone in British Columbia felt the quake.
The centre issued the warning in Alaska for more than 1,100 kilometres of coastline and while most of the area is lightly populated, the warning covers the community of Kodiak, with a population of about 5,200 people.
