7.0 Quake Shakes Alaska's Aleutian Islands

A 7.0 earthquake struck off the Aleutian Islands, Friday morning.

The quake struck just south of Alaska's island chain, in the Pacific Ocean.

No tsunami occurred as a result of the quake, nor was any damage reported.

Scientists say that the depth of the quake, more than twenty-one miles down, kept it from causing any issues.
