A strong magnitude-7.0 earthquake hit on Saturday in a remote area near the Alaska and Canadian Yukon border. The U.S. Geological Survey said it struck about 230 miles northwest of Juneau, Alaska, and 155 miles west of Whitehorse, Yukon, at a depth of about 6 miles. There was no tsunami warning. Authorities found no immediate reports of damage or injuries. In Whitehorse, Sgt. Calista MacLeod of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said the quake was felt by many, with two emergency calls received and a buzz on social media. Alison Bird, a seismologist with Natural Resources Canada, noted that the area affected is mountainous and sparsely populated. She said, "Mostly people have reported things falling off shelves and walls. It doesn’t seem like we’ve seen anything in terms of structural damage." The closest Canadian town, Haines Junction, is about 80 miles from the quake's center and has a population of just over 1,000. Yakutat in Alaska, with 662 residents, lies about 56 miles away. Aftershocks followed the main quake but no further issues have been reported.
