I did not get a alert on this Quake since it was well under my 6.0 (alerts I get from both USGS & EMSC), it was 5.4

It possibly started as a 6.0 pointer, but maybe down graded to 5.4....

Many of the alerts I get start at or above 6.0, once I click on the email link ends up below. Funny how I never received even that.

The strong-ass earthquake in northern BC struck exactly halfway between my friend's place and Haines, AK. Shook him up real good.
