January 30, 2026 brought a magnitude 2.4 earthquake 51 km NE of Valmy, Nevada, logged at 23:54 UTC. This event falls inside the aftershock decay of a nearby magnitude 2.5 earthquake that occurred about 9 hours earlier. This was a shallow crustal earthquake, focused at 10.2 km depth. The event was offshore — common for earthquakes along subduction zones and transform plate boundaries. Geolocation places the event at 41.146°N, -116.728°E. The solution has been reviewed by a USGS seismologist and is considered finalized. See the M2.4 event page for the full report, ShakeMap, and citizen-reported intensity data. | ||||||||

A magnitude 2.0 seismic event took place 118 km N of Yakutat, Alaska on January 30, 2026 at 23:54 UTC. Coming 10 hours after a magnitude 2.6 earthquake in the immediate vicinity, it is most likely an aftershock of that larger rupture. At a depth of just 1.2 km, this was a very shallow event, close enough to the surface that modest magnitudes can produce significant local shaking. The event was offshore — common for earthquakes along subduction zones and transform plate boundaries. Coordinates: 60.603°, -139.960°.
