I live in AK. Mr Gremlin heard it that morning (not sure why I didn’t wake up because normally I’m a light sleeper) and thought it was someone doing live round drills at the nearby army base or some large critter scratching/banging at our house. Nope. Took a few days for us to realize what he’d heard. Wild stuff.
There’s a pretty robust Tongan population in Alaska and the local NPR station has been playing some really heartbreaking interviews.

I’m impressed that they did the sensible thing to run away from the coastline and any potential tsunami after hearing the shockwave.

And here I was wondering to myself, “That seemed far away, why is this dude running?”
You can tell I have no volcano/tsunami experience!
