The U.S. Geological Survey recorded an earthquake southeast of Kasilof, Alaska, at 11:30 UTC on Nov. 11.

A USGS desk alert initially listed the event as magnitude 4.5 and 22 kilometers southeast of Kasilof1. The preferred origin on the USGS event page later listed magnitude 4.3 ml, 24 kilometers southeast of Kasilof, and a depth of 69.1 kilometers, with evaluation status confirmed from the Alaska network1.

USGS listed coordinates of about 60.199 degrees north, 150.927 degrees west1. The event page included a National Tsunami Warning Center information-statement link and a tsunami flag of 1; that is a product flag, not a local damage report1.

Felt reports and damage assessments from Alaska authorities were not in the USGS origin data reviewed for this filing1.
