A reported 7.5 magnitude earthquake has hit off the Alaska Peninsula prompting tsunami warnings for a vast swath of communities, leading schools to evacuate and send students to higher ground.

A secretary at Sand Point School in the Aleutians East Borough School District, said things are hectic because “this is an evacuation point.”

Schools in the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District were also evacuating to higher ground, the district said on Twitter.

Public safety officials in King Cove sent out an alert urging residents in the coastal area to move inland to higher ground.

The tsunami warning was issued by the National Tsunami Warning Center, following the earthquake off Sand Point, Alaska.

The size of the quake was originally reported to have been a magnitude of 7.4, but has been revised to a 7.5, said Paul Caruso, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey.

The geophysicist also described this area as being where the tectonic plates hit and also where they melt, with there also being volcanoes in the region.

The National Tsunami Warning Center in Palmer, Alaska, said the tsunami warning was in effect for roughly 950 miles (1,529 kilometers), from 40 miles (64 kilometers) southeast of Homer to Unimak Pass, about 80 miles (129 km) northeast of Unalaska.

The center said the quake was widely felt in communities along the southern coast, including Sand Point, Chignik, Unalaska and the Kenai Peninsula.

The Alaska Earthquake Center said a magnitude 5.2 aftershock was reported 11 minutes later, centered roughly in the same area.

The Biblical Prophecies (Matthew 24, Luke 21, Romans 8, Revelation 6) foretell that diverse seismic activity as earthquakes and volcanoes will be a sign indicating the nearing end of this age of grace.

These events and conditions happening now are warning signs pointing to the nearing fulfillment of the Last Days prophecies at the end of this age revealing it’s time to prepare now for the nearing appearance of Jesus Christ for His Church by being born again spiritually into the Kingdom of God as Jesus said we must (John 3) and His Apostles who were authorized (Matthew 16:19) described how (Acts 2).
