ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) – Someone in Juneau captured Saturday’s magnitude 7.0 quake near Yakutat on camera.
Juneau is more than 350 miles from the quake’s epicenter, according to USGS.
Scientists are calling it the 2025 Hubbard Glacier Earthquake.
It kicked off a series of aftershocks.
Sunday saw dozens, including at least two above a 5.0, one of those being a 5.8, according to USGS.
Sunday, a woman who experienced the quake in the Haines area shared what she felt.
She was closer to the epicenter than the video that was taken in Juneau.
“I could see my chandelier, and it started swaying back and forth. 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, and [I] pretty much knew it was an earthquake,” said Kathleen Benner, who was in her home when the quake hit.
She was on the phone with someone at Haines Sheldon Museum when the shaking started.
“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.
