Minor earthquake rattles central Alaska
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A small earthquake has shaken central Alaska.
The Alaska Earthquake Information Center says a magnitude 3.6 temblor struck at 9:46 p.m. Friday about 45 miles southeast of Cantwell and 53 miles southeast of Denali National Park.
The quake followed a magnitude 5.0 earthquake that rattled buildings Wednesday in Anchorage and other communities in Alaska, but didn’t result in any damage.
The center said Saturday it has not received any reports of Friday’s quake being felt or causing damage.
