On July 27, 2025 at 18:20 UTC, a magnitude 3.2 shallow crustal earthquake struck 68 km ENE of Ouzinkie, Alaska, at a depth of 30.2 km and coordinates 58.2259°, -151.4894°.

Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.2 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 951 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 97 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
