The United States Geological Survey reported a magnitude 3.6 quake in the United States near Homer, Kenai Peninsula, Alaska, only 4 minutes ago. The earthquake hit in the morning on Wednesday, April 1st, 2026, at 10:16 am local time at an intermediate depth of 44 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.Our monitoring service identified a second report from the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) which listed the quake at magnitude 3.6 as well.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, 17 miles away), Anchor Point (pop. 1,900, 18 miles away), Homer (pop. 5,500, 22 miles away), Diamond Ridge (pop. 1,200, 22 miles away), Kachemak (pop. 490, 26 miles away), Happy Valley (pop. 590, 30 miles away), and Fritz Creek (pop. 1,900, 32 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.Earthquake data: Date & time: Apr 1, 2026 10:16 am (GMT -8) local time (1 Apr 2026 18:16 GMT)Magnitude: 3.6Depth: 71.30 kmEpicenter latitude / longitude: 59.57°N / 152.16°W (Kenai Peninsula, Alaska, United States)Primary data source: USGS
