Initially registering a magnitude 7.4, the earthquake was quickly revised to a 7.7 by the US Geological Survey. No loss of life or property damage was reported following the earthquake due to the remoteness of the event, although it could be felt by people. Shaking intensities V to VI was felt at Bering Island, and in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, was felt as II. Tsunami warning was issued but cancelled a few less than two hours later. A non-destructive tsunami of 0.3 feet was observed. The small tsunami was attributed to the lack of vertical displacement during the event.
