Magnitude 4.7 Earthquake Strikes South of False Pass, Alaska
FALSE PASS, Alaska — An earthquake struck the waters south of False Pass at 02:35 UTC on November 6. Germany's GFZ research center initially measured it at magnitude 5.0 with a depth of 10 kilometers; the U.S. Geological Survey later revised it to magnitude 4.7 at a depth of 28 kilometers, with the epicenter about 139 kilometers south-southeast of False Pass.
The same area had recorded a magnitude 4.6 quake at 23:04 UTC on November 5, centered about 147 kilometers south-southeast of the community — roughly three and a half hours before the larger tremor.
The USGS catalog shows 12 reportable earthquakes within 250 kilometers of the epicenter over the past 30 days, the largest of them magnitude 5.0. There were no reports of injuries or damage, and no tsunami warning was issued.
