A large 8.2 earthquake hit SW Alaska last night and I am hearing that the area is under an Tsunami warning for everyone to get to higher ground.....
I hope that everyone can get to safety anyone hearing anything else on this one?

From CNN site:

"A tsunami warning issued for portions of the state shortly after the quake has been canceled for the coastal areas of South Alaska and the Alaska Peninsula and Aleutian Islands, according to the latest update from the National Tsunami Warning Center.

"A tsunami was generated by this event, but no longer poses a threat," the center said.

Police in Kodiak, the largest town on the island of Kodiak, advised residents after the quake to move to high ground, adding that the high school was open as an evacuation location.

As the alerts changed from warnings to advisories, the Kodiak Police Department said in a message, "Kodiak has been downgraded to Tsunami Advisory status however we are not all clear."
