On February 4, 2026 at 16:11 UTC, a magnitude 2.0 shallow crustal earthquake struck 11 km NW of Fishhook, Alaska, at a depth of 7.6 km and coordinates 61.8310°, -149.3680°.

Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 2.0 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 15.1 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 14 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
