ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — A 7.0 magnitude earthquake rocked buildings Friday morning in Anchorage and caused lamp posts and trees to sway, prompting people to run out of offices and seek shelter under office desks.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the earthquake, which it initially said was a 6.7 then later upgraded to a 7.0 magnitude, was centered about 7 miles north of Alaska's largest city.
