2026-02-24 19:04:23 UTC (2026-02-24) · approx. 8:04 AM UTC-11 local
On February 24, 2026 at 19:04 UTC, a magnitude 3.2 shallow crustal earthquake struck 62 km SE of Perryville, Alaska, at a depth of 29.4 km and coordinates 55.5750°, -158.3490°.
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.
