2026-07-10 06:17:24 UTC (1 hour ago) · approx. 8:17 PM UTC-10 local
On July 10, 2026 at 06:17 UTC, a magnitude 3.4 shallow crustal earthquake struck 12 km NE of Pāhala, Hawaii, at a depth of 30.3 km and coordinates 19.2815°, -155.3885°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.4 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 1.7 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 127 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
