[Back-to-back earthquakes](https://apnews.com/101ba6d6df894e629bddff152a45146d)! > [@](#): > > Back-to-back earthquakes measuring 7.0 and 5.7 rocked buildings and shattered roads Friday morning in Anchorage, sending people running into the streets and briefly triggering a warning to residents in Kodiak to flee to higher ground for fear of a tsunami. > > The tsunami warning was lifted without incident a short time later. There were no immediate reports of any deaths or serious injuries. > > The U.S. Geological Survey said the first and more powerful quake was centered about 7 miles (12 kilometers) north of Anchorage, Alaska’s largest city, with a population of about 300,000. People ran from their offices or took cover under desks. > [@](#): > > All flights were halted at the airport after the quake knocked out telephones and forced the evacuation of the control tower, and the 800-mile Alaska oil pipeline was shut down while crews were sent to inspect it for damage. No reported deaths yet tho, so that’s good. ---
