On October 19, 2026 at 06:36 UTC, a magnitude 2.4 shallow crustal earthquake struck 1 km E of Loma Linda, CA, at a depth of 15.7 km and coordinates 34.0478°, -117.2557°.

Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 2.4 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 60.0 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 27 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
