"Geography" in the News

Tuesday, a 7.9 magnitude earthquake rattled Alaska's Kodiak Island, where a tsunami warning followed. The tsunami warning was then canceled by the National Tsunami Center after a couple hours because waves failed to show signs of threats. Luckily, the earthquake lasted around 90 seconds, feeling like a gentle rattle, and with no damage.
