Tim Putney
Lt. Tim Putney of the Kodiak Police Department  said: "We haven't seen anything yet or had any reports of a wave."
However  officials were telling people to hold fast at evacuation centers until further notice.  He  said the town has several shelters above the 100-foot mark  and they were still encouraging people below that level to evacuate.
The earthquake woke  Putney  up out of a dead sleep  and  he  estimates it shook for at least 30 seconds.
"I've been Kodiak for 19 years that was the strongest  longest lasting one I've ever felt "  he  said by telephone.
But  he  said the police department has received no reports of damage.
