On November 3, 2026 at 12:15 UTC, a magnitude 2.5 intermediate depth earthquake struck 28 km NNW of Beluga, Alaska, at a depth of 70.1 km and coordinates 61.3940°, -151.2080°.

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.
