Moderate magnitude 4.0 quake hits 30 miles southwest of False Pass, Alaska, United States early evening
4.0 quake 9 Apr 7:23 pm (GMT -8)

An earthquake of magnitude 4.0 occurred early evening on Saturday, April 9th, 2022, at 7:23 pm local time near False Pass, Aleutians East, Alaska, USA, as reported by the United States Geological Survey.
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a very shallow depth of 6 miles. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. 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.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake which listed the quake at magnitude 4.0 as well. A third agency, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), reported the same quake at magnitude 4.0.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include False Pass (pop. 40) located 30 miles from the epicenter.
