Alaskans shared startling images of smashed roadways, cracked walls and scattered belongings after the Anchorage area was rocked by a major earthquake with powerful aftershocks on Friday morning.

The earthquake, which is initially believed to have had a magnitude of 7.0, had an epicenter 10 miles north of Anchorage at 8:29 a.m., according the Alaska Earthquake Center. It also reported the area was impacted by major aftershocks, the largest of which had a magnitude of 5.6 and was centered three miles north of Anchorage.

A tsunami warning for the coast was also issued around the time of the earthquake, although the National Tsunami Warning Center later cancelled it.
