2026-04-24 23:03:13 UTC (2026-04-24) · approx. 3:03 PM UTC-8 local
On April 24, 2026 at 23:03 UTC, a magnitude 2.5 shallow crustal earthquake struck 32 km ENE of Ensenada, B.C., MX, at a depth of 23.7 km and coordinates 32.0302°, -116.3342°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 2.5 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 87.8 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 33 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
