VANCOUVER — British Columbia’s emergency information agency says there is no tsunami threat to the province after a 7.3 magnitude earthquake rattled Alaska’s panhandle.
The all-clear for B.C.’s coast came after the U.S. National Tsunami Warning Centre issued a warning for parts of southern Alaska and the peninsula.
It says a tsunami has been confirmed for the area and impacts are expected.
The U.S. Geological Survey says the quake struck off the peninsula’s coast near Sand Point, Alaska, at 1:37 p.m.
