2025-01-10 22:13:29 UTC (2025-01-10) · approx. 12:13 PM UTC-10 local
On January 10, 2025 at 22:13 UTC, a magnitude 3.1 shallow crustal earthquake struck 19 km NNE of Honoka‘a, Hawaii, at a depth of 7.6 km and coordinates 20.2505°, -155.4218°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.1 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 747 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 87 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
