On February 11, 2026 at 05:59 UTC, a magnitude 4.8 intermediate depth earthquake struck 3 km NE of Jordán, Colombia, at a depth of 162.6 km and coordinates 6.7536°, -73.0715°. This earthquake was detected by 70 seismic stations with excellent location accuracy and was assigned a USGS significance rating of 355, placing it among routine seismic activity.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.8 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 239 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 1.2 km — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
