On March 11, 2022 at 20:13 UTC, a magnitude 2.4 shallow crustal earthquake struck 7km E of Guadalupe Victoria, B.C., MX, at a depth of 21.0 km and coordinates 32.2892°, -115.0343°.

Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 2.4 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 68.9 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 29 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
