Strong Earthquake Rocks Southeast Alaska, Felt as Far as Juneau

Juneau, AK – A powerful magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck near Yakutat, Alaska, on Saturday, sending tremors throughout Southeast Alaska and triggering a series of aftershocks. The quake, now being called the “2025 Hubbard Glacier Earthquake” by scientists, was felt over 350 miles away in Juneau, where it was even captured on video.

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) reported dozens of aftershocks on Sunday, including at least two registering above magnitude 5.0, with one reaching 5.8.

Residents closer to the epicenter described a more intense experience. Kathleen Benner, in the Haines area, recounted the shaking. “I could see my chandelier, and it started swaying back and forth,” Benner said, “and then, I have a bunch of bottles on my windowsill and they were all rattling, and the couch, of course, was starting to shake back and forth.”

Benner was on the phone with someone at the Haines Sheldon Museum when the quake hit. Both individuals expressed concern about potential damage, particularly to the museum’s exhibits.

“We were both kind of shocked and kind of just watching everything shake and hoping that there was no damage, especially for him being in the museum. There’s a lot of displays and exhibits, so he was concerned, but we kind of just sat there and waited for it to end, and it was long. It lasted at least a minute, which is pretty long for an earthquake,” Benner said.

Details about any damage or injuries are still emerging.
