A magnitude 3.0 earthquake near Susitna North, Matanuska-Susitna, Alaska, USA, was reported only 12 minutes ago by the United States Geological Survey, considered the key international and national agency that monitors seismic activity in the US. The earthquake occurred at a very shallow depth of miles beneath the epicenter around noon on Tuesday, September 28th, 2021, at 12:57 pm local time. 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 European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) which listed the quake at magnitude 3.0 as well.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Trapper Creek (pop. 480) located 17 miles from the epicenter. In Susitna North (pop. 1,300, 27 miles away), and Willow (pop. 2,100, 38 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.
