The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported a magnitude 5.1 quake in the United States near Adak, Aleutians West, Alaska, only 14 minutes ago. The earthquake hit early morning on Tuesday, August 5th, 2025, at 2:04 am local time at an intermediate depth of 48 miles. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) which listed the quake at magnitude 5.1 as well.
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 Adak (pop. 330) located 34 miles from the epicenter.
