On August 10, 2026 at 09:56 UTC, a magnitude 3.5 shallow crustal earthquake struck 113 km SE of Estacion Coahuila, B.C., MX, at a depth of 7.2 km and coordinates 31.3867°, -114.2760°.

Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.5 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 2.5 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 152 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
