A magnitude 6.3 to 6.5 earthquake hit at 14:19 UTC on September 17, 2026, about 166 km (103 miles) west of Nikolski in Alaska’s Fox Islands. Depth was intermediate — roughly 52 to 71 miles — so the U.S. Tsunami Warning Center issued only an information statement: no warning, advisory, or threat. Only a handful of people reported feeling it (intensity III). This is the same general Aleutian stretch that had an M6.3 on September 3, closer and shallower. Full USGS numbers, miles conversion, and how this compares to the 1946 Unimak M8.6 tsunami quake in the video.
