Unalaska, AK – A 6.5-magnitude earthquake shook Nikolski at about 1 p.m. this afternoon.

The quake was about 55 miles southeast of the village, and 128 miles south-southwest of Unalaska, where it could also be felt. Doris Komkoff, the health practitioner in Nikolski, was sitting at her desk in the village clinic when it happened.

"All of a sudden, I felt the clinic starting to move," she said. "It got stronger and stronger--it lasted quite a while, and I [said], 'Wow, we're having a good earthquake.'"

Komkoff said she hadn't received any reports of any injuries at the clinic, or any damage around town.

Jamie Roush, a seismic data analyst with the Alaska Earthquake Information Center in Fairbanks, said that as of this afternoon, the center's seismologists had yet to fully analyze the quake. He said the epicenter was most likely near the fault where the Pacific plate is forced under the North American plate, but that "earthquakes actually on that thrust fault tend to be deeper than this."

"We haven't yet calculated what the actual mechanics of this particular earthquake were, but it looks like it was a bit too shallow to happen on that thrust," he said. "So it might've been more of what we call a shallow, crustal event."

Roush encouraged anyone who did feel the quake to report their observations via the center's website.

Today's temblor wasn't strong enough to trigger a tsunami warning, according to the West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center in Palmer.
