2026-11-14 23:22:10 UTC (14 min ago) · approx. 3:22 PM UTC-8 local
On November 14, 2026 at 23:22 UTC, a magnitude 3.1 shallow crustal earthquake struck 56 km WSW of Pistol River, Oregon, at a depth of 4.5 km and coordinates 42.1200°, -125.0467°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.1 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 773 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 88 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
