A powerful 8.2-magnitude undersea earthquake struck southern Alaska early this morning, triggering a major tsunami. Waves up to 20 feet high slammed into coastal towns, sweeping away boats, vehicles, and damaging buildings.
Thousands fled to higher ground as sirens blared in Anchorage, Kodiak, and nearby areas. While no deaths have been confirmed, there are reports of injuries and missing people.
Emergency crews are working around the clock, and officials warn that aftershocks and more waves may still come. The National Weather Service remains on high alert.
