A pair of earthquakes shake the Mat-Su Thursday afternoon

A pair of earthquakes rattled the Mat-Su Borough Thursday afternoon. The first struck around 12:49 p.m. and had a magnitude 3.7 center 54 miles outside of Anchorage.

The second earthquake hit just after 3 p.m. with a preliminary magnitude of 5.0. The rattler struck a few miles from Point MacKenzie. It was a jolt to many, from Point MacKenzie across Turnagain Arm in Anchorage, according to the United States Geological Survey.

Initial reports from the Alaska Earthquake Center state the earthquake was 21miles deep.

Residents were quick to report feeling the earthquake from Talkeetna to Palmer. Some believed it was two separate earthquakes back to back, but there has been no confirmation at this time.

The two earthquakes brought back memories of the 2018 earthquake that shook the area as it measured 7.0. That earthquake took place on November 30, 2018, which was just a little too close for comfort for some.

At this time, there have been no initial reports of damage or injuries.

This is a developing story.
