Felt by 61 people across nearby locations.
On February 1, 2022 at 22:30 UTC, a magnitude 2.6 shallow crustal earthquake struck 53km ENE of Maneadero, B.C., MX, at a depth of 19.1 km and coordinates 31.9092°, -116.0520°. This earthquake was detected by 23 seismic stations with good location accuracy and was assigned a USGS significance rating of 121, placing it among routine seismic activity.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 2.6 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 108 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 36 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
