Magnitude 3.5 earthquake strikes near Skwentna, Matanuska-Susitna, Alaska, USA
3.5 quake 19 Mar 4:16 am (GMT -8)

The United States Geological Survey reported a magnitude 3.5 quake in the United States near Skwentna, Matanuska-Susitna, Alaska, only 5 minutes ago. The earthquake hit early morning on Tuesday, March 19th, 2024, at 4:16 am local time at an intermediate depth of 51 miles. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
A second report was later issued by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed it as a magnitude 3.5 earthquake as well.
According to preliminary calculations, we do not expect that the quake was felt by many people and did not cause any damage. In Skwentna (pop. 37, 3 miles away), Willow Creek (pop. 2,100, 46 miles away), and Susitna North (pop. 1,300, 49 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.
