Powerful Earthquake Strikes Outside Anchorage, Alaska, on Thanksgiving Day

Residents in Alaska were shaken awake on Thanksgiving Day when a powerful 6.0 earthquake rattled southcentral Alaska on Thursday morning.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey's Earthquake Hazards Program, the earthquake struck at 8:11 a.m. local time. It was reportedly centered 26 miles southwest of Willow at a depth of 43 miles.

Shortly after the quake, the Alaska Earthquake Center tweeted that the earthquake, just 37 miles outside of Anchorage, "was felt widely throughout south-central Alaska, and as far as Fairbanks."

There are currently no reports of major damage. Reports in Alaska say that many were still asleep when the earthquake struck, knocking items off walls and shelves.

KTTU News in Anchorage reports that the earthquake was initially measured at 6.2, but was quickly downgraded to 6.0, and that the National Tsunami Center says no tsunami is expected.

The news station reports that this is the largest earthquake to hit the area since a 6.1 struck in 2021 outside of Chickaloon, Alaska. Before that, a powerful 7.1 earthquake hit Point MacKenzie, Alaska, in November 2018.

The earthquake comes just days after a 4.9 quake struck in nearby Cook Inlet.
