An Intercontinental Ballistic Missile, or ICBM, is a long-range missile designed to travel more than 5,000 km. Unlike cruise missiles, which fly through the atmosphere using engines throughout their journey, ballistic missiles spend much of their flight outside the atmosphere, which means the missile actually leaves Earth’s air atmosphere and travels through space for part of its journey.

Moderate earthquake of magnitude 4.5 just reported 58 miles northeast of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Just 7 minutes ago, a 4.5-magnitude earthquake struck near Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The tremor was recorded in the morning on Saturday, May 9th, 2026, at 9:05 am local time, at a shallow depth of 6.2 miles below the surface.
The event was filed by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), the first seismological agency to report it.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake was probably felt by many people in the area of the epicenter. It should not have caused significant damage, other than objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc.
In Smoky Lake (pop. 1,100) located 2 miles from the epicenter, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Lamont (pop. 1,800) located 29 miles from the epicenter.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Gibbons (pop. 2,800) located 42 miles from the epicenter, Fort Saskatchewan (pop. 15,000) 44 miles away, Vegreville (pop. 5,700) 45 miles away, St. Paul (pop. 5,700) 47 miles away, Sherwood Park (pop. 70,600) 56 miles away, Edmonton (pop. 1,010,900) 58 miles away, and St. Albert (pop. 57,700) 60 miles away.

SPC MD 681
MD 0681 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR FAR SOUTH TEXAS

Mesoscale Discussion 0681
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0938 AM CDT Sat May 09 2026

Areas affected...Far South Texas

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

Valid 091438Z - 091615Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

SUMMARY...Isolated severe wind gusts are possible for the next 1 to
2 hours.

DISCUSSION...A (likely) slightly elevated supercell has moved across
Hidalgo county this morning with a recent measured wind gust of 54
knots in McAllen, Texas. The 12Z KBRO RAOB sampled this environment
with 2500 J/kg MUCAPE and 47 knots of effective shear with a PWAT of
2.00". This should be sufficient to maintain some isolated wind
threat for the next 1 to 2 hours. On the storm scale, an additional
stronger core has developed in western Willacy county. These
stronger cores, in addition to additional development near the Rio
Grande, should support isolated areas of intense water loading and
the potential for damaging wind gusts for the next 1 to 2 hours
before these storms move offshore and the threat subsides.
