USGS reports 6.5 magnitude quake near Alaska
May 2, 2008
ANCHORAGE (Reuters) - The U.S. Geological Survey on Thursday reported a 6.5 magnitude earthquake in a sparsely inhabited area near the tip of the Aleutian island chain, 72.42 km WNW of Adak, Alaska.
The temblor, recorded at 6:33 p.m. Pacific time (0133 GMT), was at a depth of 47.64 km, the USGS said.
There were no immediate reports of damage or injury in the Aleutians, a chain of more than 300 small volcanic islands that are home to small communities of some 8,000 natives.
No widespread destructive tsunami threat was linked to the quake, according to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.
