2026-07-13 23:08:30 UTC (2026-07-13) · approx. 1:08 PM UTC-10 local
On July 13, 2026 at 23:08 UTC, a magnitude 2.5 shallow crustal earthquake struck 6 km ESE of Sutton-Alpine, Alaska, at a depth of 11.8 km and coordinates 61.7580°, -148.6460°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 2.5 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 84.8 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 32 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
