There was a 5.3-magnitude earthquake in Point MacKenzie, Alaska, on Saturday, which was felt by thousands across the state.
The area is used to earthquakes, but they aren’t normally of this magnitude, a National Earthquake Information Center official told The Hill.
According to data from his site.
It is not clear if anyone was injured in the earthquake.
Officials say there is no threat of a tsunami, but there is a potential for aftershocks in the region.
Reports of those who felt the quake are from Point MacKenzie, Anchorage, Eagle River, Knik-Fairview, and Whitehorse.
This earthquake follows an earthquake measuring 7.1 on the Richter scale that hit Japan earlier this month. There was also no tsunami during the earthquake in Japan.
