6.6 Magnitude Earthquake Rocks Buildings In Anchorage

A 6.6 magnitude earthquake has rocked buildings in Anchorage and caused lamp posts and trees to sway, prompting people to run out of offices and seek shelter under office desks. The U.S. Geological Survey says the earthquake Friday morning was centered about 7 miles north of Alaska’s largest city. An Associated Press reporter working in downtown Anchorage saw cracks in a two-story building after the quake.
