This is the second reported roof collapse in Anchorage in two days.
The magnitude 7.2 earthquake initially triggered sirens and evacuations in communities including Sand Point and Kodiak.
The roof collapsed at a South Anchorage gym during a fitness competition.

Officials also warned that property owners should exercise extreme caution if removing snow from their roofs themselves.
