On July 13, 2026 at 23:08 UTC, a magnitude 2.7 shallow crustal earthquake struck 25 km N of Fishhook, Alaska, at a depth of 29.2 km and coordinates 61.9720°, -149.1780°.

Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 2.7 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 169 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 44 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
