The earthquake that rattled Anchorage, Alaska on Friday has registered on seismic sensors in Ohio and Kentucky.

The earthquake has a preliminary magnitude of 7.0. The quake struck at 8:29 a.m. local time about seven miles north of Anchorage, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.

The Tsunami Warning Center has briefly issued a tsunami warning for coastal areas.

A seismic station located at Stonelick State Park in Clermont County registered the earthquake, as did the Mercer Wildlife Area. A seismic station in Stanton, Kentucky also registered the quake.

"OhioSeis Stations can easily detect almost any earthquake of M6.0+ anywhere on the planet," Ohio Department of Natural Resources geologist and seismologist Jeff Fox said.

Seismic stations in Ohio definitely registered (and can be seen on the OhioSeis page) but as far as humans, this one doesn't quite make the cut.

"Today’s earthquake in Alaska can easily be seen. However, the seismic waves travelling through Ohio are on the order of microns only in amplitude, and thus not felt by humans," Fox said.

Alaska averages 40,000 earthquakes per year, with more large quakes than the other 49 states combined.

"This is a large earthquake and there have been numerous aftershocks," John Bellini, a seismologist for the U.S. Geological Survey told USA TODAY. He said the largest aftershock was a 5.7 magnitude quake about six minutes after the big one.
