No damage was immediately reported. The main threat had been dangerous currents or waves, not widespread inundation, the U.S. Tsunami Warning Center said.

The quake that struck Alaska’s southern coast on Wednesday, July 16 is part of a larger sequence that may continue to unfold in destructive ways.

Ground shaking was strongest in Sand Point, with reports of "objects flying out of the pantry and off of shelves," noted the Alaska Earthquake Center.
