2026-07-28 21:19:04 UTC (3 hours ago) · approx. 5:19 PM UTC-4 local
On July 28, 2026 at 21:19 UTC, a magnitude 3.6 shallow crustal earthquake struck 124 km NNW of The Valley, Anguilla, at a depth of 10.0 km and coordinates 19.2603°, -63.5105°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.6 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 3.8 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 184 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
