The German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) reported a magnitude 4.8 quake in the United States near Adak, Aleutians West, Alaska, only 19 minutes ago. The earthquake hit early morning on Friday, July 11th, 2025, at 2:32 am local time at a shallow depth of 6.2 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.Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter. Weak shaking might have been felt in Adak (pop. 330) located 24 miles from the epicenter.VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available.
