ALASKA HIT BY 7.0 EARTHQUAKE,
VOLCANIC ERUPTION IN 24 HOURS
On Friday August 30th, 2013 Alaska was hit by both a large earthquake,
and a large volcanic eruption. The eruption of the Veniaminof volcano on the Alaskan Peninsula
sent ash more than three miles into the sky, while the 7.0 quake struck
off shore Alaska, specifically near Adak Island. Although both the
volcanic eruption and earthquake were tied to the same tectonic plate,
at this time there is no direct link between the two. No FAA advisories
or tsunami warnings were issued in either event, also no injuries or
reports of damage have been reported thus far. Veniaminof volcano
remains on ORANGE alert at the AVO (Alaska Volcano Observatory).
