On May 24, 2026 at 15:17 UTC, a magnitude 4.6 shallow crustal earthquake struck 35 km ESE of Inarajan Village, Guam, at a depth of 63.8 km and coordinates 13.0965°, 145.0207°. This earthquake was detected by 36 seismic stations with excellent location accuracy and was assigned a USGS significance rating of 326, placing it among routine seismic activity.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.6 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 120 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 899 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
