Officials issued a tsunami warning for coastal areas of southern Alaska after earthquake, but that was later rescinded.

There were no immediate reports of any deaths or serious injuries. The U.S. Geological Survey said the first and more powerful quake was centered about 7 miles north of Anchorage, Alaska's largest city, with a population of about 300,000.

People ran from their offices or took cover under desks. Cracks could be seen in a two-story downtown Anchorage building, and photographs posted to social media showed fractured roads and collapsed ceiling tiles at an Anchorage high school.

One image showed a car stranded on an island of pavement, surrounded by cavernous cracks where the earthquake split the road.
