The depth of an earthquake matters as much as its magnitude: shallow quakes (less than ~30 km) shake the surface more strongly than deep ones of the same size. This event was located at 63.61, -150.67, based on data from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).
Aftershocks are common in the hours and days after an earthquake of this size. If you felt this quake, the safest response is to drop, cover and hold on during shaking. This page was generated automatically from official USGS data and reflects the latest available information.
