Breaking....Magnitude 5.2 Earthquake Hits Anchorage at 11am AST

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Alaska's largest city was rocked by a powerful earthquake on Thursday, but there are no immediate reports of damage or injuries.


The earthquake struck with a magnitude of 5.2 shortly after 11 a.m., according to seismologists at the West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center. It was centered about 50 miles southwest of Anchorage, said tsunami program manager Cindi Pressler.

The quake occurred 30 miles below ground and rumbled for several seconds.

Anchorage police spokeswoman Anita Shell said there were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.

The Alaska Earthquake Information Center said the event was widely felt in the Kenai Peninsula and Cook Inlet regions, with the strongest shaking occurring in the Peninsula communities of Sterling and Soldotna.

time to time. Same thing in California, my home for almost 60 years. Now I'm in Minnesota. Not too many earthquakes here. Here, it's tornadoes and blizzards. Is there no escape from nature? :rofl:

they happen daily (most you cannot feel most of them). The city is earthquake engineered.
