Alaska earthquake claimed no lives, officials say, but infrastructure damage is another story


A 7.0 magnitude earthquake rocked the state of Alaska on Friday morning, churning up roads and sending office workers running to the streets in scenes locals described as pure "anarchy." The U.S. Geological Survey said the earthquake was centered about five miles north of Anchorage, Alaska's largest city. Republican Rep. Donald Young said at a press conference Friday evening that an initial assessment found that the earthquake was not deadly. Slaton was alone and home and soaking in the bathtub when the Alaska earthquake struck. The quake, which lasted about 4½ minutes, and the tsunami it triggered claimed about 130 lives.
