2026-11-09 04:58:32 UTC (6 days ago) · approx. 5:58 PM UTC-11 local
On November 9, 2026 at 04:58 UTC, a magnitude 3.3 shallow crustal earthquake struck 88 km S of Unalaska, Alaska, at a depth of 6.2 km and coordinates 53.0770°, -166.5680°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.3 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 1.3 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 114 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
