A mild earthquake struck Alaska early on September 3, 2024, at 02:47:37 UTC-5:00. The quake, with a magnitude of 2.5, occurred 43 km west of Ferry, Alaska. The tremor was recorded at a depth of 0.0 km, making it a shallow quake with the potential for stronger ground shaking near the epicenter.
Residents in the area may have felt the subtle rumble, especially those closer to the quake’s origin. While a 2.5 magnitude earthquake is relatively minor, such tremors can still be noticeable, especially in regions prone to seismic activity.
Did you feel the earthquake? The United States Geological Survey (USGS) encourages residents to share their experiences. Your firsthand accounts help scientists better understand how earthquakes affect communities. If you noticed any unusual shaking or heard reports from others, contribute to citizen science by submitting a felt report on the USGS website.
Even minor quakes like this serve as a reminder of the constant geological activity in Alaska. Stay informed and prepared for future seismic events by monitoring updates from local authorities and the USGS.
