"For other U.S. and Canadian Pacific coasts in North America, there is no tsunami threat," the center said.
The earthquake struck 55 miles SE of Sand Point, Alaska at 1:54 p.m. with a depth of about 25 miles.
Several aftershocks were also recorded at magnitudes 5.8, 5.7, 5.2 and 5.5, and so far, there have been no reports of damage.
