2026-09-11 08:12:14 UTC (1 hour ago) · approx. 4:12 AM UTC-4 local
On September 11, 2026 at 08:12 UTC, a magnitude 3.8 intermediate depth earthquake struck 113 km N of Culebra, Puerto Rico, at a depth of 90.0 km and coordinates 19.3271°, -65.2708°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.8 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 6.4 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 233 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
