The 5.2 magnitude quake struck at 9:18 AM BC Time 104 kilometres Southwest of Sand Point in Northwest Alaska, near the same location as a number of significant earthquakes in late July.

While strong, it was not at the same force as the July 21st quake which registered 7.8, that quake resulted in a tsunami warning for BC that lasted until just after midnight.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre was quick to post the No Tsunami warning to their feed shortly after the quake had been measured.
