OT(?) FAIRBANKS, Alaska (CNN) -- A strong earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.7 rocked Alaska early Wednesday, but little damage and no injuries were reported. The quake happened at 3:27 a.m. local time (7:27 a.m. EDT), and its impact was felt from Anchorage to Fairbanks, the Alaska Earthquake Information Center said. Its epicenter was about 95 miles south of Fairbanks, near Cantwell around Denali National Park. There are some reports from Fairbanks that some things were knocked off of shelves, [and] we have one report right now that the phone service to Denali National Park is down. -- Pete Petram, emergency management specialist for Alaska's Emergency Services Division No injuries have been reported, said Pete Petram, an emergency management specialist for Alaska's Emergency Services Division. "There are some reports from Fairbanks that some things were knocked off of shelves, [and] we have one report right now that the phone service to Denali National Park is down," Petram said. According to Alaska's Earthquake Information Web site, Alaska has the greatest earthquake and tsunami potential in the entire United States. Petram said officials aren't concerned about a tsunami -- a large ocean wave that can occur after an earthquake or volcanic eruption -- from Wednesday's quake. "The earthquake is far enough away from any body of water that a tsunami would not be generated," Petram said. The quake "was probably about 250 miles away from any ocean." cnn.com
