Aljasku je pogodio masivni potres koji je uništio imovinu i teško oštetio ceste i infrastrukturu.
Potres jačine 7.0 po Richterovoj ljestvici pogodio je grad Anchorage na Aljasci u petak rano ujutro, prekinuvši dotok struje, potresajući zgrade i stavljajući mnoge živote u opasnost. Evakuirano je više bolnica i škola dok je potres tresao zemlju.
Epicentar potresa bio je sjeverno od baze Elmendorf-Richardson, navodi Centar za potrese Aljaske.
Neki od videa i slika koji dolaze s Aljaske su zapanjujući i zastrašujući.
This is what happened on the 6th floor of the Nesbett Courthouse during the Anchorage #earthquake. Both attorneys jumped under their desks. Evacuated the building after the shaking stopped. pic.twitter.com/dqHGPCv6XO

Students took cover in a classroom and products were tossed from shelves in a grocery store as a 7.0 earthquake struck north of Anchorage, Alaska. https://t.co/bLjDvIA0Uf pic.twitter.com/OtNOLjG5Fe

Zbog jačine potresa, također je u tijeku upozorenje od tsunamija na području obale južne Aljaske. Nekoliko snažnih naknadnih podrhtavanja također je pogodilo područje.
