On November 5, 2026 at 04:20 UTC, a magnitude 3.1 shallow crustal earthquake struck 22 km S of Funny River, Alaska, at a depth of 64.5 km and coordinates 60.3030°, -150.7800°.

Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.1 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 674 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 83 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
