A second report was later issued by The Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS), which listed it as a magnitude 3.7 earthquake as well. A third agency, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), reported the same quake at magnitude 3.7.

Weak shaking might have been felt in Four Mile Road (pop. 43) located 4 miles from the epicenter, and Nenana (pop. 380) 6 miles away.
