Large Alaska earthquake jolts residents, shakes buildings

A 7.0 magnitude earthquake rocked the state of Alaska on Friday morning, churning up roads and sending office workers running to the streets in scenes locals described as pure "anarchy."

The U.S. Geological Survey said the earthquake was centered about 5 miles north of Anchorage, Alaska's largest city. There were no reported injuries.

"It was anarchy,” Brandon Slaton, a resident of nearby Kenai, Alaska, told the Associated Press. “There's no pictures left on the walls, there's no power, there's no fish tank left. Everything that's not tied down is broke."
