Magnitude 3.7 earthquake strikes near Homer, Kenai Peninsula, Alaska, USA

An earthquake of magnitude 3.7 occurred late at night on Saturday, January 24th, 2026, at 11:12 pm local time near Homer, Kenai Peninsula, Alaska, USA, as reported by the United States Geological Survey.
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a moderately shallow depth of 30 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 3.5 earthquake. A third agency, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), reported the same quake at magnitude 3.7.
According to preliminary calculations, we do not expect that the quake was felt by many people and did not cause any damage. In Halibut Cove (pop. 76, 42 miles away), Homer (pop. 5,500, 51 miles away), Fritz Creek (pop. 1,900, 52 miles away), and Diamond Ridge (pop. 1,200, 53 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.
