Crews Scramble To Fix Trans-Alaska Pipeline After Quake

Massive Quake Strikes Interior Alaska On Sunday; Effects Felt In New Orleans

ANCHORAGE, Ala. -- Authorities in Alaska should know today how long it will take to restart the trans-Alaska oil pipeline.

The pipeline was shut down by Sunday's 7.9-magnitude earthquake, which damaged some of the pipeline's support structures.

Repair crews worked through the night to reduce stress on the pipeline.

The quake shook a sparsely populated area of interior Alaska, cracking highways and knocking items off store shelves. Only one injury has been reported -- a 76-year-old woman who broke her arm in a fall.

A grocery store owner said his store "smells like liquid smoke, picante sauce and mayonnaise."

The quake was felt thousands of miles away. House boats were shaken from their moorings in Seattle and people in New Orleans saw water in ponds, bayous and pools slosh about.
