Communities along a 700-mile stretch of Alaska’s southern coast ordered their residents to higher ground after a powerful earthquake, but officials quickly downgraded and then canceled a tsunami warning in the area.

The giant earthquake was recorded at 12:37 p.m. local time, southeast of Sand Point, a community located on Popof Island in the Aleutian Chain.

Alaska’s Aleutian Islands were shaken by a powerful 7.3 magnitude earthquake on Wednesday (16 July) which prompted a tsunami warning and calls for coastal residents to get to higher ground. Officials later confirm there was no significant damage or injuries.
