2025-11-12 14:37:51 UTC (2025-11-12) · approx. 4:37 AM UTC-10 local
On November 12, 2025 at 14:37 UTC, a magnitude 4.4 shallow crustal earthquake struck 100 km SE of Chignik, Alaska, at a depth of 29.4 km and coordinates 55.5919°, -157.3916°.0
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.4 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 60 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 655 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
