Just 20 minutes ago, a 4.7-magnitude earthquake struck near Nikolski, Aleutians West, Alaska, USA. The tremor was recorded late at night on Saturday, May 3rd, 2025, at 10:12 pm local time, at a moderately shallow depth of 24 miles below the surface.
The event was filed by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), the first seismological agency to report it.
A second report was later issued by the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 4.8 earthquake.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Nikolski (pop. 18) located 12 miles from the epicenter.
