On July 25, 2026 at 14:44 UTC, a magnitude 2.3 shallow crustal earthquake struck 5 km W of Frazier Park, CA, at a depth of 8.2 km and coordinates 34.8265°, -118.9975°.

Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 2.3 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 42.5 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 23 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
