ANCHORAGE, Ak–A magnitude 7.2 earthquake struck the town of Anchorage, Alaska early Friday morning and left a wave of destruction.

The U.S. Geological Survey reported two earthquakes occurred with the 7.2 one centered about seven miles north of Alaska’s largest populated town. The second, a 5.8 struck shortly after.

No injuries or deaths were immediately reported.
