On July 10, 2026 at 19:37 UTC, a magnitude 2.3 intermediate depth earthquake struck 41 km SSW of Skwentna, Alaska, at a depth of 97.1 km and coordinates 61.6410°, -151.6470°.

Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 2.3 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 42.5 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 23 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
