3.0 quake 21 Jan 4:11 pm (GMT -9)

An earthquake of magnitude 3.0 occurred only 9 minutes ago 18 miles east of Port Alsworth, Alaska, United States, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) reported.
The quake hit at an intermediate to considerable depth of 106 miles beneath the epicenter near Port Alsworth, Lake and Peninsula County, Alaska, USA, in the afternoon on Thursday 21 January 2021 at 4:11 pm local time. 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 European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) which listed the quake at magnitude 3.0 as well.
According to preliminary calculations, we do not expect that the quake was felt by many people and did not cause any damage. In Port Alsworth (pop. 160, 18 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.
