Officials from the National Weather Service also issued a tsunami warning only for the Cook Inlet and the southern Kenai peninsula, but a Pacific-wide event is not anticipated. The Federal Aviation Administration issued a nationwide ground stop to Anchorage, which will hold flights at their originating airports.

There are widespread reports of power outages and cell phone disruptions in the Anchorage area.
