On January 10, 2025 at 20:34 UTC, a magnitude 3.2 shallow crustal earthquake struck 19 km NNE of Honoka‘a, Hawaii, at a depth of 12.0 km and coordinates 20.2473°, -155.4250°.

Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.2 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 858 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 93 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
