The United States Geological Survey reported a magnitude 3.6 quake in the United States near Homer, Kenai Peninsula, Alaska, only 5 minutes ago. The earthquake hit in the afternoon on Saturday, April 4th, 2026, at 4:52 pm local time at an intermediate depth of 57 miles. 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.A second report was later issued by The Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS), which listed it as a magnitude 3.6 earthquake as well. A third agency, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), reported the same quake at magnitude 3.6.According to preliminary calculations, we do not expect that the quake was felt by many people and did not cause any damage. In English Bay (pop. 250, 26 miles away), Anchor Point (pop. 1,900, 29 miles away), Homer (pop. 5,500, 35 miles away), Diamond Ridge (pop. 1,200, 35 miles away), and Fritz Creek (pop. 1,900, 45 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.Earthquake data: Date & time: Apr 4, 2026 04:52 pm (GMT -8) local time (5 Apr 2026 00:52 GMT)Magnitude: 3.6Depth: 91.90 kmEpicenter latitude / longitude: 59.56°N / 152.54°W (Alaska, United States)Primary data source: USGS
