Just 13 minutes ago, a 4.9-magnitude earthquake struck near Fairbanks, Fairbanks North Star, Alaska, USA. The tremor was recorded in the evening on Monday, September 13th, 2021, at 9:56 pm local time, at a very shallow depth of 2.4 miles below the surface.
The event was filed by the United States Geological Survey, the first seismological agency to report it.
A second report was later issued by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), which listed it as a magnitude 5.0 earthquake. A third agency, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), reported the same quake at magnitude 5.0.
