2026-11-15 13:24:36 UTC (23 min ago) · approx. 3:24 AM UTC-10 local
On November 15, 2026 at 13:24 UTC, a magnitude 3.3 shallow crustal earthquake struck 72 km NNW of Chalkyitsik, Alaska, at a depth of 2.2 km and coordinates 67.2510°, -144.3560°.
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.
