On November 11, 2025 at 03:28 UTC, a magnitude 4.9 shallow crustal earthquake struck 128 km ENE of Crane, Barbados, at a depth of 10.0 km and coordinates 13.7371°, -58.4556°. This earthquake was detected by 124 seismic stations with excellent location accuracy and was assigned a USGS significance rating of 370, placing it among routine seismic activity.

Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.9 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 338 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 1.4 km — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
