On June 15, 2025 at 19:21 UTC, a magnitude 3.2 shallow crustal earthquake struck 14 km S of Fort Irwin, CA, at a depth of 6.6 km and coordinates 35.1340°, -116.6662°.

Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.2 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 985 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 99 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
