Nat Herz, a reporter for the paper, posted on Twitter that he called the Kodiak Police Department for a response, and was told by police to seek higher ground.
“We’re going to have to call you back,” he said police told him. “Lives at stake.”
The quake hit at 12:31 a.m. local time.
"If you are located in this coastal area, move inland to higher ground," the Anchorage Office of Emergency Management said. "Tsunami warnings mean that a tsunami with significant inundation is possible or is already occurring. Tsunamis are a series of waves dangerous many hours after initial arrival time. The first wave may not be the largest."
