On June 13, 2024 at 17:25 UTC, a magnitude 3.3 shallow crustal earthquake struck 28 km W of Chenega, Alaska, at a depth of 7.5 km and coordinates 60.1130°, -148.5093°.0

Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.3 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 1.3 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 114 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
