A magnitude 7.7 earthquake exploded off the southeast coast of Alaska just south of Juneau setting off a tsunami warning that stretched from the coast of British Columbia all the way up the Southeastern Pandhandle to Cape Fairweather, about 80 miles southeast of Yakutat. Most warnings were cancelled by the Alaska Tsunami Warning Center sometime after.
A small tsunami was observed in the community of Port Alexander shortly after 1 a.m., the Alaska Tsunami Warning Center reported. That wave height was only a half-foot above the norm. Sitka experienced an even smaller wave. Some coastal areas in Hawaii could experience small non-destructive sea level changes and strong or unusual currents lasting up to several hours. The estimated time such effects might begin was at 4:28 AM (HST).
Tsunami advisories were briefly in place from the Washington state and Canadian border to the Kennedy Entrance, 40 miles southwest of Homer, but those advisories were cancelled shortly before 1:30 a.m. Saturday. Also cancelled was the portion of the warning in effect north of Cape Fairweather stretching to Cape Suckling, 75 miles southeast of Cordova.

An M1.7 flare was observed at 09:31 UT, it originated at an active region at the eastern limb of the Sun that will rotate into view today.  The effect of a small coronal hole is expected to be seen at the Earth between 24 and 48 hours, increasing geomagnetic conditions (probably up to active levels). **If you experience value in what Earth Changes Media presents, please support us by signing up for a subscription or purchase of books.
