Alaska Earthquake: 5.4 Magnitude Quake Strikes Near Kenai, Homer

Imagine the ground is like a big, bumpy rug.

Sometimes, when parts of the rug shift underneath, the whole rug shakes!

That's what happened in Alaska.

A big shake, called an earthquake, happened near a town called Homer.

It was strong enough that people in other towns like Kenai and even far away in Anchorage could feel the ground move a little.

Thankfully, it doesn't seem like anything important broke, and there's no big wave coming to the shore.

Everyone is keeping an eye out just in case.
