A 5.0-magnitude earthquake impacted southeast Alaska and northern Canada on Saturday night, marking the second time in just two days the region was affected by one.

The Alaska Earthquake Center, the state's earthquake monitoring agency that's based at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, tweeted the earthquake originated in Glacial Bay National Park at 8:32 pm local time. The agency said it had received reports that those in Juneau, the state capital, and Whitehorse, the capital of Canada's Yukon territory, felt it. 

The National Tsunamai Warning Center, which is located in Alaska, tweeted out that a tsunami was not expected. According to the Anchorage Daily News, no damage or injuries were immediately reported. 

According to UPSeis, an education site on seismology created by Michigan Technological University, a 5- to 5.9-magnitude earthquake is considered moderate. Earthquakes of 2.5- to 5.4-magnitude are "often felt, but only cause minor damage" with an estimated 30,000 a year occurring. 

It was the second earthquake to hit the region in the last two days. A 3.8-magnitude earthquake had originated from a nearby location, the Alaska Earthquake Center tweeted. The agency did not respond to a request for additional details in time for publication. 

Locals in Alaska and Canada took to social media either looking for confirmation that they did indeed feel an earthquake, or reporting how they were impacted.
