A magnitude 7 earthquake struck about eight miles north of Anchorage, Alaska, on Friday morning, according to the United States Geological Survey, damaging buildings and roads, causing power outages and stirring panic. On Twitter, residents of Anchorage and the surrounding area shared photos and video of frantic evacuations, swaying buildings and damage caused by the earthquake. The National Weather Service issued a tsunami warning for parts of southern Alaska, which was later canceled. “There is major infrastructure damage across Anchorage,” the Anchorage police department said in a statement. Many roads and bridges are closed.”
