On November 28, 2025 at 17:32 UTC, a magnitude 3.2 shallow crustal earthquake struck 12 km WNW of Susitna, Alaska, at a depth of 64.1 km and coordinates 61.5950°, -150.7170°. The earthquake was reported felt by 1 personacross nearby locations, with a maximum shaking intensity of Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) 1.8 (weak).

Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.2 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 951 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 97 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.

Common Questions

How strong was the magnitude 3.2 earthquake near Susitna, Alaska?

The magnitude 3.2 earthquake that struck 12 km WNW of Susitna, Alaska on November 28, 2025 at 17:32 UTC had a depth of 64.1 km. It was felt by 1 person with maximum shaking intensity of MMI 1.8 (weak). For context, this was a minor earthquake typically detected only by instruments.

Were there aftershocks?

Aftershock activity is monitored continuously by the USGS. Aftershock sequences from magnitude 3.2 earthquakes can continue for several days and gradually diminish over time.

What should I do after an earthquake?

If you were in the affected area: check yourself and others for injuries, inspect your home for damage, and be prepared for aftershocks. For detailed guidance, see our earthquake safety guide and emergency planning resources.
