LARSEN BAY, Alaska - An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 4.5 has struck several miles underground on Kodiak Island.



The U.S. Geological Survey says the temblor happened around 8:30 p.m. Friday and was centered about 10 miles east-northeast of Larsen Bay.

USGS geophysicist Randy Baldwin, of the National Earthquake Information Center in Golden, Colo., says the earthquake happened in a remote and "very seismically active" area. He says only a handful of people reported feeling it.

There have been no immediate reports of any injuries or damage associated with the quake.
