2026-08-14 13:33:27 UTC (1 day ago) · approx. 1:33 AM UTC-12 local
On August 14, 2026 at 13:33 UTC, a magnitude 3.2 intermediate depth earthquake struck 200 km W of Adak, Alaska, at a depth of 96.4 km and coordinates 51.7282°, -179.5273°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.2 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 951 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 97 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
