Widespread inundation from the tsunami is not expected, the Tsunami Warning Center said, but strong currents or waves that are dangerous to people very near the water were expected.

The tsunami warning was downgraded to an advisory after a 7.3 earthquake in Alaska.

The U.S. Tsunami Center said the warning was in effect from about 40 miles (64.4 km) southwest of Homer to Unimak Pass, a distance of about 700 miles.
