Seismic activity over the last 24 hours was led by a moderate magnitude 4.
Usgs Earthquakes Brief (7-Day)
Usgs Earthquakes Brief
Seismic activity in Alaska over the past week was defined by a persistent swarm southwest of Adak and isolated moderate-magnitude events near Denali National Park and Port Clarence, indicating active stress release along both the Aleutian subduction zone and interior fault systems. While no single event exceeded M4.3, the spatial clustering near Adak suggests ongoing tectonic adjustment distinct from the scattered background seismicity observed elsewhere in the state.
A M4.3 earthquake struck 151 km SW of Adak, serving as the primary event in a concentrated sequence of five recorded shocks ranging from M2.5 to M4.3 in that specific offshore sector.
A M4.0 earthquake occurred just 8 km SE of Port Clarence on the Seward Peninsula, representing significant shallow crustal deformation in a region with lower historical seismicity compared to the Aleutian arc.
Interior Alaska experienced notable strain release with a M4.2 event 66 km WNW of Lake Louise and a M3.9 shock 62 km S of Cantwell, highlighting continued tectonic activity within the Denali fault system vicinity.
Seismicity near Denali National Park remained elevated with two distinct events (M3.6 and M2.6) occurring within 70 km of the park boundaries, reinforcing the area's status as an active intraplate seismic zone.

Usgs Water Brief
The Mississippi River at St. Louis is currently discharging 114,000 ft³/s, representing a massive volumetric surge that dominates national hydrology and signals significant downstream flood risk for the Lower Mississippi Valley. Concurrently, elevated water temperatures exceeding 24°C in the Delaware and Potomac basins indicate persistent thermal stress conditions that may complicate municipal intake operations and aquatic ecosystem stability in the Mid-Atlantic.
Mississippi River at St. Louis, MO recorded a streamflow of 114,000 ft³/s at a gage height of 1.91 ft, marking the highest discharge volume in the current dataset and indicating major system throughput.
Ohio River at Louisville, KY reached 94,600 ft³/s with a gage height of 18.34 ft, confirming substantial tributary contribution to the Mississippi system's current high-volume event.
Mississippi River at Grafton, IL measured 51,700 ft³/s at 15.97 ft, demonstrating sustained high flows upstream of the Missouri River confluence that are actively feeding the St. Louis surge.
Potomac River at Point of Rocks, MD registered a water temperature of 26.2°C, the highest thermal reading in the feed, highlighting acute heat retention in Mid-Atlantic waterways.
Delaware River at Trenton, NJ maintained a flow of 4,930 ft³/s with water temperatures at 24.3°C, suggesting stable but thermally elevated conditions critical for regional water supply management.
