Due to the shallow depth, it was felt at least as far away as Seattle and it generated seiches on bodies of water as far away as Texas and New Orleans, Louisiana.

Because of its location close to the November 3 event and the fact that it preceded it by only 11 days, this earthquake is regarded as a foreshock.

[8] The calculated stress transfer from this foreshock indicates that it brought the Denali fault closer to failure at the location of the mainshock epicenter.

[7] There is evidence of local supershear propagation inferred from ground motions along at least 35 km (22 mi) of the rupture.

[7] South of Denali, aftershocks match the inferred characteristics of the Susitna Glacier thrust.

[7] On the Denali fault itself, there were fewer and smaller aftershocks than expected, with the largest only being a Mw  5.8 event.

These people tend to get water from private wells, heat their homes and cook their meals with gas furnaces and stoves, and maintain individual septic systems.

There was no oil spillage, as the pipeline at that location was designed to move laterally along beams to withstand major movement on the Denali Fault.
