5.7 quake 3 Nov 12:56 am (GMT -10)

The United States Geological Survey reported a magnitude 5.7 quake in the United States near Adak, Aleutians West, Alaska, only 9 minutes ago. The earthquake hit after midnight on Sunday, November 3rd, 2024, at 12:56 am local time at a shallow depth of 9.3 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 Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS), which listed it as a magnitude 5.7 earthquake as well.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake was probably felt by many people in the area of the epicenter. It should not have caused significant damage, other than objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc.
In Adak (pop. 330) located 52 miles from the epicenter, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Atka (pop. 64) located 84 miles from the epicenter.
