On October 13, 2026 at 08:28 UTC, a magnitude 3.0 intermediate depth earthquake struck 34 km N of Skwentna, Alaska, at a depth of 98.9 km and coordinates 62.2960°, -151.3510°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.0 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 477 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 71 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
