A very severe earthquake has struck Alaska late in the night at local time.
According to preliminary data, the earthquake was 8.2. Magnitude, and it was registered very close to Sandpoint, Aleucans East, Alaska, U.S.A.
According to the U.S. Geological Service, the quake struck on July 28, 2021, at 10:15 p.m. at a local time at a very shallow depth of only four miles.
The shallow earthquakes feel stronger than the deeper ones because they are closer to the surface. Accurate size, the epidera and depth of the earthquake can be revised within hours, as seismologists are reviewing the data.
According to foreign media, there has also been a tsunami alert.
In general, earthquakes in this size are recorded by more than one agency, and the results may vary, with subsequent reports of the following coming after the first often showing more accuracy.
Based on seismic preliminary data, the quake should have been widely felt by almost everyone in the area of the era. It could have caused slight damage to average.
