00:00Welcome to a new episode of your show, What's Happening.
00:04Today is Thursday, September 17th, 2026 and 6th of Rabi Al-Akhir.
00:13Of course, a very strong earthquake has just struck the United States of America.
00:21So a very strong earthquake has hit America with a magnitude of 6.4 on the Richter scale.
00:29At the epicenter of this earthquake, or rather, this earthquake specifically struck the state of Alaska about 10 or 15
00:38minutes ago.
00:40By the time you're watching this episode, it will have been about 15 minutes.
00:45Specifically, it struck at 5.25am this Thursday morning.
00:50U.S. time, to be precise, Alaska state time, the state of Alaska.
00:55So, Alaska state time, exactly 5.25am this Thursday morning.
01:06Alaska is known as one of the states surrounded by a large number of volcanoes.
01:12Most likely, the cause of this very strong earthquake is the volcanoes present there.
01:17And it seems that these volcanoes will erupt strongly in the coming hours or days.
01:23In any case, this very strong earthquake triggered and stimulated seismic activity in other American states,
01:32connected to the same fault line as the state of Alaska, where another earthquake struck immediately afterward.
01:41Of course, the Alaska earthquake was at a depth of 115 kilometers below the sea surface.
01:48And it directly triggered another earthquake, which was an earthquake that struck the American state of California with a magnitude
01:55of 3.4 on the Richter scale.
01:59Specifically, the epicenter was in the city of Mount Shasta in the American state of California.
02:05And it was at a depth of 48 kilometers below the Earth's surface.
02:11So, in the state of Alaska, there was a very strong earthquake and another mild earthquake in the American state
02:18of California at the same time.
02:20And because the earthquake was very strong, as we said, such a powerful earthquake can also trigger or activate seismic
02:28activity in many other countries around the world.
02:31There was immediately a tremor in Europe, specifically in France, at the same time.
02:36The tremor that hit France had a magnitude of 3.
02:40So, it became 3.6 on the Richter scale, and specifically, it hit western France near the French city of
02:50La Rochelle.
02:51And this city is directly overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
02:57The depth of this French earthquake was 5 kilometers below the surface of the Earth.
03:04And it struck exactly at 4.34 p.m. today, local time, in France.
03:12That was everything as usual.
03:14We will see you again.
