A 6.0‑degree quake jolted the Anchorage metro area on Thursday morning, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The shaking started at about 8:11 a.m. local time and was felt at a depth of roughly 43 miles below the surface. The epicenter was located roughly 7 miles to the west‑northwest of Susitna, or about 67 miles from Anchorage. Nobody reported major damage right away, and the U.S. Tsunami Warning System said a tsunami was unlikely. Alaska ranks as the most seismic U.S. state and one of the world’s most seismically active places, with magnitude‑7 earthquakes occurring nearly every year. This Thursday’s tremor was the biggest that has hit south‑central Alaska since 2021, KTUU TV reported.
