Earlier a powerful earthquake sparked a tsunami warning for hundreds of miles of Alaskan and Canadian coastline, but the alert was canceled when no damaging waves were generated. A magnitude 7.5-magnitude earthquake that struck off the coast of Alaska at about 4 a.m. EST time generated a tsunami, but the monster wave posed no threat to land, according to officials. Tsunami warnings were issued for parts of Alaska and Canada shortly after the earthquake struck about 60 miles west of Craig, Alaska, but were canceled after the Alaska Tsunami Warning Center.

Jenna also spilled, during the chat, when she is likely to give birth to her first child with screenwriter husband Lee Kirk, whom she married in July 2010.

Lawyer: Elaborate plans made to keep Casey Anthony safe
Her options for starting a new life could be limited by lawsuits pending against her, the scorn of multitudes who think she was guilty of the killing and a criminal record from her convictions for lying to police. She walked out of jail on Sunday, shortly after midnight.
Her attorney Cheney Mason told NBC’s Today Show on Monday that he’s confident in Anthony’s safety, but declined to answer questions about where she was.
“She’s gone, she’s safe and elaborate plans had to be made to keep the people away from her,” Mason said. “Her life is going to be very difficult for a very long time as long as there are so many people of the lynch-mob mentality.”
Asked about how Anthony was paying for her fresh start, Mason replied that many volunteers have offered their help.
