2026-10-14 03:53:48 UTC (1 hour ago) · approx. 5:53 PM UTC-10 local
On October 14, 2026 at 03:53 UTC, a magnitude 3.2 shallow crustal earthquake struck 8 km SSE of Tyonek, Alaska, at a depth of 65.6 km and coordinates 60.9960°, -151.0680°.
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.
