Magnitude 3.8 earthquake strikes near Homer, Kenai Peninsula, Alaska, USA

Just 6 minutes ago, a 3.8-magnitude earthquake struck near Homer, Kenai Peninsula, Alaska, USA. The tremor was recorded early morning on Thursday, May 14th, 2026, at 5:06 am local time, at an intermediate depth of 57 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 European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed it as a magnitude 3.8 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 English Bay (pop. 250, 25 miles away), Anchor Point (pop. 1,900, 29 miles away), Homer (pop. 5,500, 35 miles away), Diamond Ridge (pop. 1,200, 36 miles away), and Fritz Creek (pop. 1,900, 45 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.
