2026-08-11 07:23:05 UTC (1 day ago) · approx. 7:23 PM UTC-12 local
On August 11, 2026 at 07:23 UTC, a magnitude 3.3 intermediate depth earthquake struck 76 km ENE of Adak, Alaska, at a depth of 151.8 km and coordinates 52.1857°, -175.6331°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.3 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 1.3 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 114 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
