6.7 Quake Causes Rude Awakenings, No Injuries
A strong earthquake rocked a broad swath of the state, waking people up hundreds of miles from the epicenter and knocking items off shelves but causing no major damage or injuries.
The quake, with a magnitude of 6.7, hit at 3:27 a.m. and was centered about 30 miles southeast of Denali National Park.
It was felt by residents in Fairbanks, 85 miles north of the epicenter, and Anchorage, 170 miles to the southwest.
It was felt as far as 350 miles away, a seismologist at the Alaska Tsunami Warning Center in Palmer said.
