SUSITNA, Alaska (AP) — Early Thursday morning, a significant earthquake with a magnitude of 6.0 rattled the Anchorage area, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.

The tremor occurred around 8:11 a.m. local time, originating at a depth of 43 miles (69 kilometers), according to the USGS. The quake’s epicenter was pinpointed 7 miles (12 kilometers) west-northwest of Susitna, Alaska, approximately 67 miles (108 kilometers) from Anchorage. Fortunately, there were no immediate reports of major damage.

Following the seismic event, municipal inspectors conducted assessments and confirmed that the key public infrastructure remained intact, as shared by Anchorage Mayor Suzanne LaFrance via social media.

In addition, the U.S. Tsunami Warning System confirmed that there was no tsunami threat following the earthquake.

Taking a light-hearted approach, some locals humorously dubbed their Thanksgiving celebrations as “Shakesgiving” in response to the quake.

Alaska is the most earthquake-prone state in the U.S. and one of the most seismically active regions in the world, according to the USGS. The state experiences a magnitude 7 earthquake almost annually.

Thursday’s quake is the largest to hit the south central part of Alaska since 2021, KTUU TV reported.
