2026-10-15 14:02:45 UTC (1 hour ago) · approx. 4:02 AM UTC-10 local
On October 15, 2026 at 14:02 UTC, a magnitude 3.0 intermediate depth earthquake struck 56 km ENE of Ferry, Alaska, at a depth of 107.8 km and coordinates 64.1600°, -148.0000°.
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.
