First worry is always a tsunami, but in this case it seems like it only generated a max of ~20cm: https://www.tsunami.gov/events/PAAQ/2021/07/29/qwzteb/7/WEAK...
These finite fault maps are made using automated processing of the seismic waves from seismographs around the globe. It's pretty amazing to me that the resolution is so good, from what are not that different than sound waves. These tend to be pretty accurate, not just precise, and are validated from additional studies using different datasets over the subsequent years.

I just don't see how this had anything to do with typhoons and surf contests in Japan, seemed silly.

Alaska is pretty close to Asia, especially if you look at the great circle distance.
Cargo planes from China, Korea, and Japan normally refuel in Anchorage, and before the extended range of modern passenger jets, most passenger planes also had a refueling stop there.
In 1983, KAL Flight 007, a Boeing 747 passenger airliner en route from New York to Seoul, was shot down by the Soviet Union after departing Anchorage and inadvertently entering Soviet airspace.
Incidentally, .22 LR is nominally but not actually 0.22 inches in diameter. It's very slightly bigger than that. In the domain of ammunition, there is often a mismatch between actual diameter and nominal diameter.
