This article says 7.9, but a friend up there says it was 7.4. Maybe it depends exactly where.
Powerful Alaska earthquake, tsunami warning issued but later lifted
A 7.9 magnitude earthquake in the Gulf of Alaska triggered a tsunami warning in the US state and parts of Canada, which has now been lifted. The epicenter of the quake was detected east of Chiniak Island.
My friend says schools are closed, there are lots of road and bridge damage. That means probably lots of building damage too. Frightening stuff.
