2026-11-11 01:45:27 UTC (56 min ago) · approx. 4:45 PM UTC-9 local
On November 11, 2026 at 01:45 UTC, a magnitude 4.7 shallow crustal earthquake struck 130 km W of Tofino, Canada, at a depth of 10.0 km and coordinates 49.0876°, -127.6912°. This earthquake was detected by 18 seismic stations with good location accuracy and was assigned a USGS significance rating of 340, placing it among routine seismic activity.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.7 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 169 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 1.1 km — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
