Alaska Peninsula shaken by strong 5.9 Earthquake
* From: AAP

A MAGNITUDE 5.9 earthquake has shaken several communities on the Alaska Peninsula, but there have been no immediate reports of damage.
Krista Galvin, an administrative assistant with the city of Sand Point, said the tremor felt "like it just kept shaking, just longer than usual", maybe lasting as long as a couple of minutes.
She hadn't heard of any damage, but said a school on top of a hill also felt an aftershock that wasn't felt in town. Sand Point is about 917km southwest of Anchorage.
The US Geological Survey reports the Tuesday afternoon earthquake was centered 40km south of Sand Point, at a depth of almost 35km.
It was also felt in Cold Bay and Chignik.
