2025-04-11 20:56:51 UTC (2025-04-11) · approx. 12:56 PM UTC-8 local
On April 11, 2025 at 20:56 UTC, a magnitude 2.0 shallow crustal earthquake struck 24 km ESE of Little Lake, CA, at a depth of 5.9 km and coordinates 35.8673°, -117.6490°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 2.0 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 16.7 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 15 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
