| A 4.4 magnitude earthquake was recorded near Sitka Alaska this morning |
A moderate sized earthquake was recorded off the Alaska panhandle this morning, with the 4.4 magnitude temblor rumbling along the region at just before 8AM Alaska time, 9 AM in Prince Rupert.
A smaller 2.9 magnitude aftershock quake was recorded about forty five minutes later.
Located in the upper panhandle to the northwest of Sitka, the centre of the quake was 610 kilometres Northwest of Prince Rupert and the quake had a depth of 9.5 kilometres.
It's the latest of a number of similar sized and smaller quakes that have dotted that area of the panhandle in recent weeks, no reports of damage were reported and No Tsunami Warning was generated by the event.
