Major 7.0 natural disaster hits Alaska; tsunami warning lifted

"I wasn't afraid of the house falling or anything, I was like 'Okay what's gonna happen next?'"

"It was nuts, it was insane".

One off-ramp collapsed near the airport while a GMC sport utility vehicle was driving on it, and afterward the vehicle sat trapped on an island of asphalt.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake occurred at 8:29 a.m. Alaska time (9:29 a.m. PT) and was centered 8 miles north of Anchorage.

People ran from their offices and into the streets or took cover under desks as the ground shook for about 30 seconds.

Slaton just moved to Kenai, Alaska with his wife from Arizona and had never felt an natural disaster before the 7.0 magnitude temblor hit on Friday morning.

"People who were outside were actively hugging each other", he said.

Slaton says: "It was anarchy". A tsunami warning that had been issued for the island community of Kodiak has been canceled. There's no pictures left on the walls, there's no power, there's no fish tank left. "Everything that's not tied down broke". It's terrifying to watch. the terror easily lasts over a minute long. "But then it really got going, and I thought, 'wow, this feels. this feels like the big one".

Another lawyer, Hank Graper, was driving when the quake struck.

The reason Alaska sees so many earthquakes is because the 49th state sits over a major fault line between the Pacific and North American tectonic plates.
