Excerpt:

The wave or rise was tape-recorded at 4 inches, much smaller sized than projection, stated Jeremy Zidek, a spokesperson for the Alaska Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management. The U.S. Geological Survey stated the 7. 7-magnitude earthquake struck in the Queen Charlotte Islands location, followed by a 5. 8-magnitude aftershock a number of minutes later. The quake was felt in Craig and other southeast Alaska neighborhoods, but Zidek stated there were no immediate reports of damage. The West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center released a caution for seaside areas of southeast Alaska, down the western Canadian coast to the idea of Vancouver Island. Later on Saturday night, the warning for those areas was devalued to an advisory, while a caution was released for Hawaii. Officials stated a tsunami wave can hit the islands by 10:30 p.m. Saturday (1:30 a.m. PDT).

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
